William Philpot was buried at Whitfield in 1759.
There is a will of Mary Philpot of Whitfield 1760 which is likely to be of the wife of William (made 1760, probate 1762 PRC17/96/400 PRC16/430 P/5). Mary Philpot was buried at Whitfield in 1762. The two burials above are the only Philpot burials at Whitfield 1710 – 1810, so it seems probable that William Philpot came from elsewhere.
