In his diary for 1764, Phil Powys writes against 30 December "30. My Wedding day, in the year 1730". Presumably this included an allowance for the lost 14 days, though in fact he seems to have lost only 11 here.
In E A Powys' copy of Philip Powys's notes (her gt-gt-grandfather), he had recorded "Philip Powys was marred to Isabella Lybbe of Hardwick in oxfordhire 19th Decr 1730".
In E A Powys' account of the family, page 69, she writes that they were married on the 19th December 1730 at Doctors Commons church and went the same day to his house at Sion Nr Isleworth.
On the English Origins site, there s a records of the Vicar general's Marriage licence Allegations in which Lybbe married Powys on 19th Dec 1730. A full copy of the source of this has been ordered and is awaied
In Boyd's Marriage Index, ISB LYBBE m. PHIL POWIS at LONDON (ST BENET PAUL'S WHARF) in 1730.
Kind(er):
From Philip Powys' notebook, transcribed by EAP: "Isabella Powys my dear wife dyed at Benson at the Red Lyon in her way home from Oxford on Friday 6th March 1761 between 2 and 3 in the afternoon in the 48th year of her age. She had been ill for some time was advised for the sake of the journey to go to Oxford to consult Dr Lewis. She lies buried in the Vestry at Whitchurch."

Martin P-L writes, Section X:
ISABELLA, only child and heiress of RICHARD,1713-61.
Called Bell as a child.
1713 Whitchurch Baptism Register:
"1713 Jan 12 LYBB Hissabela d. Richard Esqre & Hissabela LYBB"
1722Her father dies, when she is aged eight.
1730She orders the sale of part of her father's estate, to pay debts.
Aged 17 she marries PHILIP POWYS. For five years they lived at his house in London, then moved to Hardwick.
1731-41 She bore 6 children, only three of whom survived infancy; and one of these three died aged 27.
1761Aged 48, she was ill for some time. Returning from a doctor in Oxford, she died at the Red Lion in Benson.
She was buried in the vestry at Whitchurch, under which is the first family vault. [Where the North aisle now is, there had been two small chantry chapels, both claimed by Hardwick.] This vault was eventually filled, I imagine. At any rate, starting in 1821, members of the family were mostly buried in a new vault, in the churchyard. The last, so far as I know, was the Mayor, in 1888. [TFPL: The Mayor's sister Edith Mary was also buried there after her death a few days after the Mayor's and in fact PLPL, Mr Lybbe, is the last, buried in 1897.]
Whitchurch Burial Register:
"1761 Mar 10 POWYS Isabella, wife of Philip, esqre"
AP-L has portraits of Isabella and her husband by Davison.
Court proceedings involving Isabella (which I have not studied):-
1723Isabella Lybbe, spinster, Chan. Pro. 1714-58, 2222/52.
1742/3Chan.Pro. 1714-58, 548/8, continued in 1758-1800 series, Bundle 774/2.
1757Lybbe v. Blagrave, Ch. Pro. C11/2222
Given the fecundity of Lybbe mothers, it is remarkable that the name disappeared from the area. The "slave" line bumped on (legitimately and otherwise) for a few more years - see section T1. But none of Isabella's three uncles had any sons. In fact, the only one of her 12 aunts and uncles to have any children was Elizabeth Mrs Merrick. And it seems that those children died without issue, as the portraits of Dr and Mrs Merrick, plus a canteen of dessert cutlery with the Merrick crest, came back into our family.
Caleb and Hannah Libby had a child baptised in 1740 at Lower Metting near Newbury; but that spelling and those Christian names belong to our Puritanical cousins (such as went to America) not to our branch.
TFPL: John Ramskill Twisden noted that "Oxford gossip had previously assigned her [Isabella Lybbe] to her third cousin, Sir Thomas Twisden, 4th baronet of Bradbourne." See notes for Sir Thos.
