He married Susannah Swann, daughter of Edward Swann. She died by July 1740 in Charles County. On 19 June 1707 she signed the inventory of the estate of her brother James Swann of St. Mary's County.

      Philip Briscoe was one of the coroners of Charles County, and later one of the Magistrates, Justice and Chief Civil Officers of Charles County. He also served on the vestry of King and Queen Anglican Parish, St. Mary's County, in 1692 and 1697. He was a delegate to the Lower House of the Assembly, representing Charles County, 1699-1700.

      His will was dated 25 April 1724, proved 29 January 1724/5, and named wife Susannah, who was devised the dwelling planation Morris' Venture for life, then to son John; to son Philip the 80 acres "bought from Father Swann;" son Edward was devised "Hitchen" and 111 acres of "Love's Enjoyment"; deceased son George (who left a son Leonard) and daughter Sarah Leonard, Judith Ashrom, Susanna Compton and Ann Wood.
