Hello Wendy,
Just to let you know that the Philips line from Anne that married John Marshman in 1680 opens an interesting line. Anne's parents were Richard Philips and Mary Hicks and they married in Croscombe in 1638.
I think Mary Hicks comes from the Hicks family of neighbouring Dinder (there are no Hicks burials around that time or records in the 1641 Protestation Returns in Croscombe). IGI records a baptism of Mary to John Hicks in 1605 in Dinder and John was the son of a Jeffrey Hickes who left a will in 1611 (national archives).
The Hickes are interesting because I think they were quite well off and held land in Dinder, including I think the land on which Dinder House was later built by the Somerville family.
The Hickes were linked to Westbury in Wiltshire and intermarried with the Styleman family and the Styleman family have a pedigree in the 17th century Wiltshire Visitations.
Not completely proven yet but interesting for further research.
Mark
