Several Philip Lipscombs are mentioned in the book. The date you give must refer to Philip Lipscomb I or II. There is a notation on page 55 of the book regarding Philip Lipscomb I (possibly son of the hypothetical Ambrose Lipscomb IV that "in the 5th of Dec. will of John Lipscomb (probated May 1777) in which John Lipscomb asked that his son, Henry, may 'be bound out to Mr. Philip Lipscomb Jr. until he arrives to the age of twentyone years...' There seems no explanation for the Jr. but,, Philip's son, Philip would not have been born until around 1766-70, ...but oftentimes in reading the script of those times, it is possible to mistake a 'Sr.' for a 'Jr.'"
