peer
of the Wharton barony

Philip was married three times, first to Frances Clifford, second daughter of Henry Clifford, 2nd Earl of Cumberland
in 1577. She died in 1592 and in 1597 he married to Dorothy Colby. He was married a third time after 1602.
Notable in his life was his entertaining King James
