Notes for Phillip (Spouse 1)
Will of Phillip Thomas, Isle of Wight, Book 2, p. 456, dated 13 Nov 1702; probated 9 Feb 1702/03.1858
Daughter Mary Goodson, wife of Edward Goodson
Son William Thomas
Son John Thomas
Witnesses, Margaret Edwards, India Edwards
There were several men named Phillip Thomas in 17th century VIrginia. Worth S. Ray thought that the father of the William Thomas who married Elizabeth was another William Thomas, the son of John Thomas and wife Dorothy who came to Virginia from Bermuda in 1610.551 This genealogy was followed by Edison Thomas in his book.1773 According to Worth S. Ray, John and Dorothy Thomas had a son named Phillip Thomas, who married Sarah McKinzie. However, the list of children given for this Phillip Thomas by Ray does not include a William or a Mary, although it does include a John.
The following quote is from the Worth S. Ray book:
“The writer is convinced that the wife of PHILLIP THOMAS was SARAH McKINZIE, a sister of MICHAEL McKINZIE, as the names MOURNING and PRISCILLA are to be found often in the McKINZIE FAMILY and PHILLIP and EVAN THOMAS and MICHAEL McKENZIE were all used as headrights in 1635 by WILLIAM HUNT, the head of an old ISLE OF WIGHT FAMILY. Nugent p 238. Innumerable deeds and instruments appearing in the old records of Isle of Wight strongly indicate such relationship, which tendency is augmented by the continuing intimacy that existed between the two families. With sufficient time to expend I feel sure that this relationship and the various details of the PHILLIP THOMAS family could be worked out. Both families drifted to North Carolina.”551

Notes for Phillip (Spouse 1)
Following from Virginia Genealogies and Biographies, 1500s-1900s; Virginia Historical Genealogies, page 210:
"The first one of this family in Isle of Wight County was Philip Thomas who came to Virginia before 1635. He and his family consisting of himself, Evan and Sarah Thomas, were brought over by William Hunt who received a grant of 800 acres at the head of Beverdam Branch, a branch of the Western Branch of the Nansemond, on Dec. 16, 1635, for the transportation of sixteen persons, among whom were the Scott family, who later became Quakers (C. P. 238).
“William Boddie, upon coming to Isle of Wight some thirty years later, evidently received a grant of 3350 acres adjacent or near William Hunt's for Boddie's grant was "at the head of the Cypress and Western Branches of the Nazemond beginning at Beaver Dam Branch. (C. P. 475) William Hunt's daughter, Mary, married (1) Robert Edwards, (2) Owen Griffin; (3) William Boddie as his third wife.
“Philip Thomas was a creditor of the estate of Nicholas West in 1668. In October 1677, he signed a petition to the King's Commissioners, then in Virginia, praying for the pardon of William West, "a bebel taken in arms, whose father had been barbarously murdered by the Indians." (17 C. p. 163). In 1679 he witnessed the will of John Daniel.
“Philip Thomas, evidently aged, made his will Nov. 3, 1702, and same was probated Feb. 9, 1702/3. He gave one shilling to his daughter Mary Goodsanond the same to his son William. To son John he gave “all that I die seized of that pertains to me and mine.” (W>B> 2p. 456). John Thomas, his son, was executor and the witnesses were Margaret and Judy Edwards. They were the step-daughters of William Boddie who had married their mother Mary (Hunt) Edwards.
“Children of Philip Thomas.
I. John, m. Susanne, dau. of John Portis, and relict of John Frizzel. (see later).
II. William, (2) m. Elizabeth Hill, dau. of Sylvestra (Bennet) and Col. Nicholas Hill. (see later).
III. Mary (3), m. Edward Goodson before 1702 and removed to Bertie county, N.C., later Northampton. In 1737, Edward Goodson, probably a son of the above, married Mary, dau. of Thomas Mandue, of Bertie, formerly of Isle of Wight. (I.W.D.B. 5-152) Also in 1737 George Goodson, probably another son, married Sarah Mandue. A George Goodson was a juror in Bertie in 1740.”
