The
PHIPPS Families of Bristol (C18th-C21st)
Seeking early C18th ancestry of the PHIPPS family in Bitton, particularly Sampson PHIPPS of Don
John's Cross, Bristol = Grace
BUSH in 1712 at Bitton. My 7xGGPs.
Otherwise known is William PHIPPS,
brother of Sampson PHIPPS,
who with a wife unknown had a son Sampson
PHIPPS c. 1728 at Oldland.
Only known child of Sampson & Grace PHIPPS
is Daniel
PHIPPS c.
December 1728 = Hannah
HASKINS, d/o Edward of Mile End, Bristol in 1748. My 6xGGPs.
Over 150 descendant PHIPPS family members have been traced so far.
There known
children of Daniel
& Hannah PHIPPS include:
� Hester PHIPPS (c1751);
� Hannah PHIPPS (c1754);
� Solomon PHIPPS (c1756);
� Sarah PHIPPS (c1757) = George GARLAND
in 1775 at St. George (my 5xGGPs);
� Sampson PHIPPS (c1760);
� Martha PHIPPS (c1761);
� Mary PHIPPS (1761);
� Joseph PHIPPS (c1762) - the main
line of descent.
Descendants of Joseph PHIPPS (c1762)
from his marriage to Ann HIPSLEY include their only son Joseph
PHIPPS (1793) = Elizabeth MILSOM. One of their 4 sons, Thomas
PHIPPS (c1834) = Susannah HAMBLIN, and their son George PHIPPS

Sampson PHIPPS, member of the
famous rescue squad of 1735 who rescued three men and a boy entombed in Two
Mile Hill coal mine for 10 days and nights. Successive rescues were halted by
Chokedamp/Blackdamp gas however the final attempt on the eleventh day was
successful.
25th May 1753:
With
no stocks of food to last to next harvest, hungry colliers massed, along with
their women and children, for an attack on the City of Bristol. They were
unarmed apart from stones carried in the women's aprons. Several killed by
the armed citizens of Bristol in the riot that followed but 29 captured
including Job PHIPPS, who was
dangerously wounded.
31st May 1753:
Prisoners
lay in filth and squalor of Newgate prison for over a week without medical
attention for their wounds.
17th July 1753:
Prisoners
visited by John WESLEY, the Methodist preacher.
4th August 1753:
Special
tribunal set up to try the rioters although the ringleaders were still at
large. Authorities announced reward of �200 for Sampson PHIPPS & �100 for four
others. Kingswood, with the reputation of looking after their own, never gave
them up. [Sampson PHIPPS (senior), uncle of
above named Sampson PHIPPS was another member
of the famous rescue squad of 1735].
5th September 1753:
Sampson PHIPPS (junior) found
guilty of High Treason in his absence. No one was prepared to give evidence
against those on trial.
17th September 1785 (SFBJ):
Committed
to Gloucester gaol, Solomon
PHIPPS, for the robbery and attempted murder of John MILLER,
a journeyman mason, on the highway between Lawrence Hill and New Church.
MILLER had completed a week's work at Kingswood and was walking to Bristol
when he was assailed by three men. Two of them held him down, while the
third, alleged to be PHIPPS, cut out his breeches pocket with a knife. One of
the others called out "At his throat!" whereupon PHIPPS put
the knife under MILLER's chin, giving him "a dreadful gash"
whilst uttering the words "Now go and tell who robbed thee!"
MILLER was fortunate, for the wound was in his thick double chin which saved
his throat. The other two men had not been taken when paper went to press.
Solomon PHIPPS was acquitted.
