Individual Details
Philip TORREY
(1580 - 27 Jun 1621)
Per family records I have that were published by James H. Horton, 1885, the following info is for Alice and Phillip:
Phillip Torrey, son of William, and Alicie(sp?) his wife. He died June, 1621, leaving a will dated 21 April 1621, in which he mentions three daughters, Anne, Mary and Sarah, and four sons, William, James, Phillip and Joseph. The will of the wife Alicie(sp?) is dated in 1634, and mentions by name the same seven children, and states that the daughter Mary was deceased.
These four sons all emigrated to America in 1640, and located within a few miles of Boston, Mass., and seem to have been the ancestors of all the early families of the name in America. William and Joseph first located in Weymouth; James in Scituate, and Philip in Roxbury. Although Philip raised a family, it is not learned that he had any son to transit his family name to later generations. He died in Roxbury in 1686.
Joseph removed to Rehoboth, Mass., and subsequently to Newport, R.I., where he was prominently active in public affairs. He died there in 1675. Nothing is learned concerning his descendants. James was accidently killed by an explosion of powder in Scituate, in July, 1664, leaving five sons and five daughters.
Alice was the daughter of James Richards of Pitminster, Somersetshire County, England and Alice Blake Richards of Over Stowey, Somersetshire County, England. Alice was christened on 21 January 1581 in Pitminster, Somerset County, England. Alice and James were married on 02 October 1569 in Over, Somerset County, England. Alice and James had three children. They were: John Richards was born on 03 May 1579 in Combe Saint Nicholas, Somerset County, England; Thomas Richards was born in 1572 in Pitminster, Somerset County, England; and Alice Richards was born on 21 January 1580 or 1581 in Saint Nicholas, Somerset County, England.
Alice married Phillip Torrey on 27 November 1604 in Pitminster, Somersetshire County, England.
