!Philip was the second son of Philip Lightfoot and Alice Corbin. He was Clerk of York Co. Court from 1707 to 1733 and a Member of the Council 20 Oct 1733. He inherited, in 1727, from his older brother Francis, the Lightfoot family estate at Sandy Point (Westover Parish, Charles City County) which had been willed to Francis by their father. 

Philip's will was signed 31 July 1747 and

proved 20 June 1748. His will is impressive reading because of the vast resources it dispenses - plantations in York, Surry, Charles City, Brunswick, Goochland, New Kent and Hanover Counties; houses, storehouses, and lots in Yorktown, Williamsburg and Blandford; more than 180 slaves. 

In his will King's Creek, the Burwell plantation

in York Co. receives much attention.
