Philipps was a member of the Philipps family of Picton, being described as a local Royalist and cousin of James Philipps.[1] He may have been William Phillipps of Heathook, Pembrokeshire who was, a zealous royalist. Information was laid against him on 29 June 1649 that he was a delinquent and he was excepted from the General I^ardon for South Wales and Monmouthshire on 26 February 1651. His estates were sequestered by the Committee for South Wales on 13 May 1651 by order of the Committee for Compounding, London, on grounds that he was concerned in Poyer's Rising of 1648..[2]
In 1660, Philipps was elected Member of Parliament for Haverfordwest in the Convention Parliament. His opponent Sampson Lort claimed victory after being judged unsuitable by the corporation in view of his oppressive behaviour during the interregnum and the election was declared void on 29 June. Philipps was re-elected on 7 August 166.[3]
