"A mariner in Hampton, he inherited the Hampton homestead and was an active and useful citizen. In 1671 he had a grant of lot 52, 40 acres in the south of Hampton called 'The New Plantation' (now Seabrook). He drowned in the Hampton River, near the mouth of Cole's Creek."
Jacob Chapman, p. 8, adds that James may have married, first, Jane Roberts of Dover, sister of Ann.
From the Philbrick/Philbrook Family Association: "When Thomas the Emigrant died around 1667, his will passed on his land and house to his son, James Philbrick. James Philbrick, along with Abraham Drake, Peter Johnson and Joseph Dow, established a boundary line between Exeter and Hampton in 1671. For a second time, tragedy would strike the Philbrick family when on November 16, 1674, James Philbrick drowned in the Hampton River near the mouth of Cole’s Creek."
