Did you find more about Edward Philipson? His father John, the maltster of Ulthwaite Mill, was the son of Edward b. 1763 Preston Patrick, and Margaret (Peggy) Philipson. Edward's father was William b. 1725 Cowbrow, Lyth son of John and Mary Philipson. He married Ann Robinson at Burton-in-Kendal in 1760. In 1777 he paid window tax at Lupton (Preston Patrick).
William's father was John Philipson of Stricklandroger who married Mary Muncaster also of Stricklandroger, at Burneside, 19.5.1723. John may have been the son of Thomas Philipson (d.1711, Stricklandkettle) and Jennet Sawrey, and the brother of William Philipson whose descendants became bobbin manufacturers. This is because John and William are mentioned together in a quitclaim of 1724 amongst the Sawrey family papers, and the family naming system (he had an elder brother named Thomas) supports this line of descent. John of Stricklandroger was the originator of a large Philipson family with many descendants, who can be found making queries on genealogical messageboards!
