Yes, that is entirely true. He could also be the Edmond Philpott of Eaton under Heywood who passes away in 1664. The Eaton Philpott has a brother named Richard from Obley who has his own free held lands, so we assume that is his older brother. Originally, we thought the Eaton Philpott was Edward of Clunbury's son, but that doesn't seem likely now. Edward of Eaton is a renting tenant, but now that we know his brother is Richard, who has land, etc. of his own. Clunbury is a parish of 10 settlements and manors. It is possible that Edmond of Eaton did not come from there (though Richard of Obley is in Clunbury parish) or that there is another Philpott family there. For example, Launcelot Philpott has a farm in the area.

Did Edmond of Clunbury survive his childhood? I looked for 17th century statistics. I couldn't find them. But I did find this. If the 17th century was similar, once Edmond got past his first year, he had relatively good chances of living a longer life, and I suppose better chances as each year went by.

UK Office of National Statistics
Whereas a newborn boy was expected to live to age 40.2 in 1841, a one-year-old boy in that same year had a life expectancy of 46.7 years - 6.6 years higher than a newborn. https://www.ons.gov.uk/

Isn't that Jan.8, 1600? Because of the old calendar system in use at that time? That would make Edmond almost one and a half years old in January 1600. If he made it to then, we are hopeful that he made it past his youth.

Thanks. Yes, it is possible. We are hoping that that this Edmond is not the same one that is in Eaton-under-Heywood, but he could be.
