$marriage allegation, with the oath of John Yeamans, esq. that he is the testamentary guardian of the said Mary Freeman, and that he is consenting to the marriage, in the Vicar-General’s Office, is dated Dec. 29th 1737, and the marriage took place Jan. 22nd 1738, at Egham (P. E.). See Pedigree of Byarn of Antigua, in the College of Arms, and that of Freeman, Philips, and Jones, in connection therewith. ]\Irs. Mary Philips, nde Freeman, is the lady whose portrait forms one of the subjects of the correspondence between ]\Ir. James Whatman and myself, wdiich was noticed in Part xxiii of this Journal, Aug. 1867. The portrait was bequeathed by hlr. Charles Philips to his wife, and at last came into the pos- session of their youngest son Mr. Kichard Elliston Philips. At his death s. p., it fell into the hands of his widow, from whom it passed to her nephew, the father of the present Mr. James Whatman. From the correspondence referred to it was seen that Mr. Whatman keeps the portrait in question hanging up in his house at Vinters, near Maidstone, as an heirloom ! In the same cor- respondence Mr. Whatman is told that, as he cannot call the lady it represents a relative, so he cannot call the portrait a family portrait of the Whatmans; and is then asked, what the meaning of the word “heirloom” is, as applied by him to the portrait of my great-grandmother. Charles Philips died Nov. 20th 1747. His will, dated Oct. 20th 1747, was proved in P. C. C. on the 23rd Nov. follow- ing by his uncle IMr. Nathaniel Philips and his brother-in-law Colonel John Burbydge, the executors (289 Potter). Both he and his wife and children are mentioned in John Elliston’s will. Mrs. Mary Philips married, secondly, the Kev. Thomas Beigh- ton, vicar of Egham, and died in 1755 without issue by this second marriage. The Kev. Thomas Beighton himself, who administered to her efiects, died in 1771 and was buried at Egham (P. R. and ]\Ionumental Inscription to his memory written by his friend David Garrick). His will, dated Oct. 22nd was proved Oct. 29th 1771, in P. C. C. (398 Trevor). The children of Charles Philips and his wife Mary were : Charles, Nathaniel, Martha Byam, and Kichard Elliston.$
