Description

Folio 90[C]-91. From Catharine Phillips. To George I.

Petition for assistance to go to Lisbon to join her husband, and continue their former employment as victuallers. She owned a victualling house in Cadiz for the entertainment of British officers, but was attacked after malicious papists heard of the pictures they kept of the British King. John Terry and his uncle were the culprits. Her husband would not take a bribe but told the Consul, Sir Martin Westcomb. As news came of Sir George Byng defeating the Spanish her goods were seized and her family confined for seventeen days. The Governor sent orders for she and two children to return to England, leaving her husband. She brought her eldest daughter back, despite instructions for her to stay with the father. Certified by Stephen Monteage and Jos[shua] Willey, Merchants.
