Philip Doddridge, Jr.

Philip Doddridge, Jr. (6 August 1735-1785) was the only surviving son of Philip and Mercy Doddridge. He did not enter the ministry, although he studied under Dr. John Aikin, a former assistant to Doddridge and later a tutor at Warrington Academy, and under Caleb Ashworth at Daventry Academy. He was articled to a lawyer at St. Albans and then in London. The younger Philip never married and eventually resided with his mother and sisters in Tewkesbury, assisting for a time in the failing business of his brother-in-law, John Humphreys. He died there in 1785.
