• Notes

  Johannes Phipps appears in a disposition of 1292, then declaring that he was about 60 years old, which means he was born about 1232 A.D. In an inquisition of that date by Robert, son and heir of the deceased, concerning proving his age; Johannes Phipps, 60 years of age, under oath and questioned about the age of Robert, soldier, son, and heir of the aforesaid Warini evidently in this year... And John himself knows this because on the next night after the purification (?) of Alice, mother of the aforesaid Robert, after the birth of the aforesaid Robert in the cur (?) of Calelton, certain...etc... The name does not occur again for another 200 years. Since we then find it in Cemeley, Somersetshire (mentioned in its latin form in the above inquisition), it would appear that the family continued to own property in that county and that Johannes Phipps was the progenitor of the name. Almost every source agrees that the name Phipps is derived from the baptismal name Philip, which comes from the Greek word for "lover of horses."
