4. Philip KYRTLAND or KERTLAND (Philip,2 John?1), born 1614
too young to be mentioned by name in his uncle John's will,
he was one of the other "children of brother Philip" there mentioned.
His earliest definite record is on the sailing list of the ship
Hopewell from London April 1, 1635,—"Philip Kyrtland, from
Sherrington in Bucks., aged 21 ; Nathaniel Kyrtland from Sherrington
in Bucks, aged 19." (See under Philip 2 for possible items about
him in Lynn records.) In 1638 was granted 10 acres by town of
Lynn. In 1640, he and his brother Nathaniel, with many other
Lynn people, settled on Long Island, but Philip3 must soon have returned
to Lynn, from the dates of his children's births on the Lynn
records. In 1652 he bought from Nathaniel Tyler his house and
lands in Lynn. Philip3 died before 1659, for we find in Salem
Court Files July 17th, 1659, the following:
"Deposition of John Kirtland, aged about 52. I often heard my brother
Phylip say oft times that his wife should have all hee had to dispose of so
long as she live; and to my best rememberance hee gave £15 to his dafter
Mary and £l0 to his dafter Sara. £10 to his dafter Susanua and £10 to
his dafter Hanna, this to be given to them at ye day of marriag, the
land not to be sould so long as she liues."
William Harcher of Lynn, aged about 65, stated that when Philip
Kertland was going to sea he told him substantially as above.
On October 14th, 1659, Evan Thomas (a vintner who came to
Boston from Wales, with wife Jane and four children, in 1640),
announces his intention of marrying the widow Alice Kertland of
Lynn; and he made conveyance of estate in trust for her children
April 24, 1661. By wife Alice, Philip Kertland had the foliowiug
children, all born in Lynn:
i. Mary4 , born June 3, 1640.
ii. Sarah4 , born September 27, 1646, married John Davis, October
5, 1664.
iii. Susanna4, born March 8, 1652.
v. Hannah, Ebenezer, twins, born June (11 &) 12, 1654
