- Philip Liscom married first in Milton, Mass. 24 Dec 1701 Charity JORDAN, the daughter of John Jordan of Milton, Dorchester South Precinct, and Stoughton, Mass. Based on research published in the New England Historical Genealogical Register in 2000, Charity's mother was either Esther or Naomi Sylvester, daughters of Richard and Naomi Silvester of Weymouth and Marshfield. Following Charity's death, Philip m. (2) Braintree 6 April 1743 Elizabeth Neal, less than three months before his own death. The provenance of Philip isn't known, but two New England couples were of an age that could have been his parents: John Liscomb and Hannah Hazard of Boston, and William and Susanna Liscomb of Salem, Mass. and Saco, Maine.
Philip was a resident of Milton from the time of his first marriage to about 1708 or 1709. At a Milton meeting of selectmen on 12 Dec 1707 an "Ernest request and desire of Abigal the daughter of dina Tomson" was registered to go with her cousin, "Philep Liscom", he being about to remove to a new plantation within the plantation of Punkapaug (now Canton). Dinah Tomson was a sister of Philip's mother-in-law, who was a daughter of Richard Sylvester. Abigail was inflicted with a condition requiring constant attention, and Philip and his wife Charity would be her caretakers for as long as they lived. The date of the foregoing town meeting suggests that Philip likely moved to Ponkapaug (later Stoughton and now Canton) around 1708, but he may not have moved immediately as his daughter Naomi's birth was recorded in Milton in September 1709.
Philip purchased land from the Fennos on the way to Bear Swamp, now on York Street in Canton. In 1718 he was constable for the southern part of the town. On 18 Sep 1724 Philip Liscum of Dorchester deeded to his siter-in-law, Elizabeth Niles, wife of Benjamin of Braintree, several pieces of land, buildings and livestock. On 22 Dec 1726 the South Precinct of Dorchester was incorporated as the town of Stoughton, and at the first town meeting Philip was chosen a constable. On 25 June 1728, Philip Liscom of Stoughton deeded to Benjamin Silvester Jr. and (persumed wife) Charity 35 acres in Braintree.
In his will, dated 20 Jan 1736 and proved 5 July 1743, Philip calls himself of Stoughton, and makes bequests to wife Charity, sons John and Philip, daughter Charity, Elizabeth, and Katherine (no surname), and daughter Grace Keny, deceased, or to son-in-law Jonathan Keny. To son Benjamin, now single, all the rest. Son Noyce was also mentioned in the will, with sons John and Philip named executors. An agreement of heirs names Charity Wentworth, John, Philip, and Benjamin Liscum, Charity Dwelly, Benjamin Sprague, Catherine Phillips, John Noyes, and Samuel Jordan. The division of the estate gives to Catherine Phillips, Elizabeth Silvester, Benj. Liscum, Philip Liscum, Charity Dwelly, Abigail & Naomi Noyce, children of Naomi Noyce, deceased, and Grace Jordan, only child & heir of Grace Keny, deceased.
