    ORIGIN: Unknown.
    OCCUPATION: Sawyer and carpenter. On 1 April 1634 Phillip Tabor pledged to provide 200 feet of four-inch planks for the building of the sea fort [MBCR 1:114].
    CHURCH MEMBERSHIP: Admission to Watertown church before 14 May 1634 implied by freemanship; called "of Watertown church" in 1640 Yarmouth baptism.
    FREEMAN: 14 May 1634 [MBCR 1:369]. Propounded freeman of Plymouth Colony 7 January 1638/9 and admitted 4 June 1639 [PCR 1:108, 126]. Received an inhabitant of Portsmouth, 14 February 1655[/6] [PoTR 69] and made a freeman of Rhode Island on 20 May 1656 [RICR 1:336] (after which he was added to the end of the Portsmouth section in the 1655 Rhode Island list of freemen [RICR 1:300]).
    BIRTH: About 1605 (deposed 10 June 1669 aged sixty-four years or thereabout [PrTR 5:335]).
    DEATH: Certainly after 3 June 1672 (in tax list of that date [PrTR 15:135]) and probably after 24 February 1671/2 (when his testimony was presented in court [RICR 2:429]) and before 27 Apr 1682 (provision made to maintain widow Tabor [PrTR 15:241]. … Many sources state that Philip Tabor died in Tiverton, but he apparently died in 1672 or soon after, at a time when Tiverton had not yet been settled, and his widow remained in Providence for another decade. The confusion presumably arises since some descendants of Philip Tabor did reside in Tiverton.

    Tabor, or Taber, Philip, Watertown, in 1634 subscr. towards build. the galley for secur. of the harbour, and was made freem. 14 May of that yr. yet was one of the first sett. at Yarmouth, and mem. of the earliest assemb. of Plym. Col. in 1639 and 40 for Y. as Baylies I. 305 and 7, shows. But he was aft. at the Vineyard, and thence went 1651 to New London and in 1656 I find him among the freem. of Portsmouth, R. I. and not long aft. at Providence, of wh. he was rep. 1661. He liv. later at Tiverton. Prob. he was progenit. of a num. race; tho. I find not how; but he had John, bapt. at Barnstable, 8 Nov. 1640; Philip; Thomas, Feb. 1646; and Job, or Joseph. In the will of John Masters, of Cambridge, 1639, he names his d.
