Nineteenth-century published sources, notably including Chapman's 1884 NEHGR article about the family of Thomas Philbrick and his 1886 Philbrick genealogy, identified John Philbrick's wife as Ann Palmer and named Ann(e) Knapp as the first wife of his brother Thomas. More recent genealogies that rely on those sources have repeated the same information. However, a court document cited in The Great Migration Begins[1] clearly indicates that the wife of John Philbrick was the daughter of William Knapp (emphasis added):

On 1 April 1662, whereas "William Knap late of Watertown deceased who died intestate" held land which was divided by the court on 15 October 1659 "to Priscilla Knap his relict widow" one third for life, and the remainder and reversion of the widow's thirds to "William Knap, John Knap, James Knap, Mary Smith, Judith Cady, children of the said William Knap, together with the children of John Philbricke deceased, being the grandchildren of the said William Knapp, deceased..." -- Middlesex County, Massachusetts, Deeds 2:201-03.
