Augustine Phillips makes his will on 4 May 1605; the will is registered 13 May 1605. His wife and executrix, Anne Phillips, receives one third of his property, and his three daughters another third; the remainder goes toward the execution of the estate, and to numerous smaller bequests. Among the latter are sums of money to members of the King's Men, and clothing and instruments to Phillips' apprentices. Phillips makes Anne, his executrix on the condition that she remains a widow. If she remarries, then John Heminges, Richard Burbage, William Sly and Timothy Whithorne become his executors.
