Alice Millard, daughter of Roger Philpot als. Milwarde and his wife, Matilda. The name “Milwarde” or “Millard” and “Miller” meant virtually the same thing back in the 15th and 16th centuries and is sometimes misspelled (if that was possible back then) as Mallard. The names were used to refer to a person who ran or worked in a mill. Wooten-under-Edge was a wool mill town.

Alice married Raphe Hurt, the Mayor of Bristol (c. 1600) somewhere between 1560 and early 1563.

John Philpott otherwise Mylwarde was Alice’s paternal uncle.

Children:
Thomas Hurte
Roger Hurte
