He was a successful merchant in 1545. He may be the Philip Williams alias Footman who in May 1556 gave evidence against ‘such as favoured the gospel at Ipswich’. Williams alias Footman lived into the reign of Elizabeth I and lived in St. Mary Tower, Churchgate, Ipswich.

Williams died without issue.
