Phillipa Worden (1628-1707)

Phillipa Worden was baptised on the 26th October 1628 in St Just in Penwith, Cornwall. She was incorrectly registered as a male with the name 'Phillip', and consequently the name 'Phillip' is used re-occuringly in records throughout her life - even when she is listed as the mother of children.

Her parents were Anthony and Jane Worden (nee Ladner), and her siblings were Anthony, Elizabeth and Catherine.
