After the exodus of the Romans in the 5th century A.D., the ancient Britons were left inpossession of Western England, present day Wales and Cumbria, while the Germanicinvaders, the Saxons, Jutes and Angles continued a determined invasion from the South-East ofEngland. It was in the year 616, and the Battle of Chester, that the Celts were divided, andWales, though still a group of kingdoms, came to be a distinct nation. Rhodri Mawr (Rhodrithe Great), was the first great Welsh warrior/leader. In 855, through skilful alliances andpractical marriages, he became the king of Powys and much of the rest of Wales. He died in893, giving Wales to his three sons, Anarawd who became King of North Wales, Cadalh whobecame King of South Wales and Mervyn who became King of Powys, or mid Wales.The Phillips surname shares its ancient history with the ancient Welsh chronicles. Bearers ofthis name were first found in Kent, where legend has it that the family (but not the surname)is descended from Maximus, the Briton, Roman Emperor from 383 until his death in 388, andthe King of Britain, when he married the daughter of Octavius, King of the Britons. Laterthe family was forced back into Wales by the invading Saxons, where they traditionally claimdescent from Tudwal (c.AD 528-564) "of the wounded knee," a descendant of Rhodri Mawr,first King of Wales.

OriginsThe ancestors of the bearers of the name Phillips were the ancient Britons that inhabited inthe hills and moors of Wales. This surname was derived from the personal name Philip. Thisname, which was usually Latinized as Philippus, was originally derived from the Greek namePhilippos. This Greek name was composed of the words "philein," which means "to love,"and "hippos," which means "horse." The personal name Philip owed its popularity to themedieval romances about Alexander the Great, whose father was Philip of Macedon.

Ancient HistoryBeautiful Wales, mountainous land of the red dragon and Eisteddfods (music festivals) andKing Arthur, gives us the distinguished surname of Phillips.


The distinguished Welsh family name Phillips emerged in Pembroke, where one line, Philippsof Lydstep and Amroth were descendants of the old Welsh lords of Cilsant (Kylsant). Thefamily branched to Herefordshire and other counties along the Welsh/English border, wherethey held vast lands and territories during the 11th and 12th centuries. Picton castle, inPembrokeshire came to this line of Phillips when heiress Jane Donne (Dwnn) married SirThomas Philipps of Cilsant, in the late 15th century. Throughout the 17th and 18th centuriesthe Philippses of Picton Castle were the most powerful family in Pembrokeshire, exercisingtremendous political, social and economic influence over all aspects of local life. Dale Castle,Pembrokeshire came to be held by the family in the nineteenth century. The family flourishedand branched north even as far as Cheshire, Lancashire, and into Scotland. Early recordedinstances of the name include Henry Philip in the Hundred Rolls of Norfolk in the year 1275;and Maud Philippes in the Hundred Rolls for Huntingdon in 1279.

Spelling VariationsFrom the early records that were examined, manuscripts such as the Domesday Book, the PipeRolls, Hearth Rolls, the Black Book of the Exchequer, and the Curia Regis Rolls, thefamily name, Phillips, was found with many different spellings. Spelling variations ofPhillips include Phillips, Philips, Phillip, Philip, Pilip, Pillips, Fillip, Filip, Filips,Phillipes, Philipes, Phillup, Philups, Fillups, Filups, Pilups, Pillups, Fulop and Fullop, andthese changes in spelling frequently occurred, even between father and son. It was notuncommon for a person to be born with one spelling, marry with another, and have yetanother on his or her headstone.

Early HistoryThe Norman Conquest of Wales in the 11th century was less than conclusive, in fact Waleswas not actually subdued until the conquest of Edward I in 1301. A testimony to the Welshfighting spirit is that there are more castles, or ruins of castles, to the square mile in Walesthan anywhere else in the world. However, even as peace gradually returned to thispicturesque country, many Welsh, attracted by economic opportunity, moved eastward intothe English cities.


The power of the Church, and the Crown, their assessments, tithes, and demands, imposed aheavy burden on rich and poor alike. Many looked to the New World for their salvation.Some, such as Captain Morgan, even became pirates who roamed the islands of the WestIndies.The Plantation of Ulster, in Ireland, by the British crown offered an opportunity for settlersto obtain land in exchange for pledging to remain protestant. Those who immigrated toIreland were granted lands previously owned by the native Catholic Irish. The Phillips familymigrated to Ireland and settled in the counties of Cavan and Monaghan. In 1890, a birth censusof Welsh families in Ireland was taken. From that census, it was estimated that there were over3,450 people bearing the surname Phillips throughout Ireland; about 27 percent were living inthe province of Ulster where the families were found in Antrim.

Early NotablesProminent amongst the family during the late Middle Ages was Ambrose Philips (circa 1674-1749), a poet who wrote "Winter-piece" for Tonson and other important pieces. He shouldnot be confused with John Philips (1676-1709) another poet, who wrote "The SplendidShilling" in 1701 and others. Edward Phillips (1630- c.1696) and his brother John Phillips (1631-1706) both wrote important works in that same era.

Life in IrelandFor the next two or three centuries the surname Phillips flourished and played an importantrole in local county politics and in the affairs of Britain in general.

Early ConvictsMany of the earliest settlers to Australia were convicts, transported from Britain to live andwork in the penal colonies, others were offered incentives and financial assistance. At least 14 of the name Phillips arrived as convicts in the late 1700's. First Fleet convictsinclude: Richard Phillips, from London; Mary Phillips, from Taunton; Second Fleetconvicts include: Samuel Phillips, from Somerset; Thomas Phillips, from Warwick; SarahPhillips, from Middlesex; Third Fleet convicts include: Daniel Phillips, from Stafford; IsraelPhillips, from Middlesex; John Phillips, from London; Joseph Phillips, from London; MarkPhillips, from Sussex; Mary Phillips, from Warwick; Nicholas Phillips, from Middllesex;Thomas Phillips, from Buckinghamshire and Thomas Phillips, from Middlesex.


The Great MigrationEmigration to Australia followed the first fleets of convicts, tradespeople and early settlers.Early immigrants include: B.A. Phillips, a carpenter, arrived in New South Wales sometimebetween 1825 and 1832; Solomon Phillips, a blacksmith, arrived in New South Walessometime between 1825 and 1832; G.H.
