Thomas Phillip's Father had bought from William Adkisson, 45 acres in Henrico on 30 Sep 1766. Thomas also received the following land grant in Goochland Co., on the North side of James River in consideration of fifteen shillings; patent dated 7 Jul 1763, and signed by Francis Fauquier, "Lieutenant-Governor and Commander in chief of the Colony of Virginia" Although his uncle Benjamin had built the mills on the Chickahominy which came to be known as 'Bowles Mills', it is believed that Thomas Philip acquired possession of them about 1780, as in a history of the Eddin Family they are written of as 'Thomas Bowles' grist mill on the Chickahoniny," and these mills came afterward into the possession of Lyddall, the youngest son of Thomas Phillip Bacon.
