Biography

Philip was born in 1734. He is the eldest son of Philip Powys and Isabella Lybbe.

“The debt on the house was discharged March 24, 1676, two years after Anthony’s death, by his son, another Richard Lybbe. This Richard married first Sophia, daughter of Sir Thomas Tipping; she died in 1682, and he remarried Mary, daughter of Sir William Hill, who died the year after. Mr. Lybbe founded, in 1714, the almshouses for old men at Goring, Oxon, where he had property. He died the year after, and was succeeded by his son, another Richard, who in 1712 was High Sheriff for Oxon, and the same year married Isabella, daughter of Sir William Twysden of Roydon Hall, Kent. From this union was born Isabella, sole child and heiress, who on December 19, 1730, married Philip Powys, only surviving son of Sir Thomas Powis of Lilford, by his second marriage with Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Philip Meadows of Bentley Hall, Suffolk, thus bringing to her husband Hardwick. From this union were born three sons, Philip Lybbe, born October 26, 1734, the husband of our heroine; Thomas, born September 26, 1736, afterwards Dean of Canterbury; and Richard John, born August 1741, subsequently captain in the Guards; and one daughter, Elizabeth, who died in infancy.” ^[1]
