According to family tradition, Henry Nathaniel Philpott, who was a blacksmith at Gussage-St.-Michael’s, traveled north past Stonehenge to visit family before coming to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, c. 1873. He brought over many of his family and his wife Mary who died in Philadelphia in 1880. Henry returned to England, not wanting to die “in this God-forsaken land.” Family tradition says he died in London, either run over by a cab or while shoeing a horse. [A good possibility for his parents are Henry Phillpott and Elizabeth Hatcher of Goodworth Clatford, Hampshire, England, m. 10 Nov 1814, Dorset which is near Weyhill where Henry Nathaniel was baptized.]
