Did James and Mary have a son Richard Phipps?   Richard was a soldier in the garrison at Fort Loyal - he deserted to Captain Pound's  Company and was wounded in the head at Tarpaulin Cove (at the entrance of Boston harbor on the E. side of Nanshon Island, the largest of the Elizabeth Islands of Massachusetts).   Later he was imprisoned at Boston Prison and perhaps died there as he was not brought to trial with the others in 1690.  He was called a pirate.  If he was not James and Mary's son, who was he?
And who is the John Phipps of this generation found in Port Royal, a known pirate rendezvous site?
