Sir Philip Honywood or Philip Honywood (British Army officer, died 1785))
Philip Honeywood Raymond (F1) and was the first son of Samuel and Isabella (nee Child). died 1757

Philip is a common (BW family) name.
The Honywood name could have been taken as a Christian name in honour of a connection through Lavenham and the
Child family and connection with Marks Hall and Thomas Honywood.
The Siege of Colchester, where Thomas Honywood was involved, was in 1648 and their could be a connection
through Oliver
The English Civil war, the second insurgance, ended in 1649 with the assination of Charles the first.

The Wikipedia page has been updated since I quoted it below. Charles I was executed 30 January 1649,

Thomas Honywood, a member of the Essex county committee, had secured the weapons with the northern Essex
Trained Bands,
who had remained loyal to Parliament. Lucas continued to Colchester, arriving on 12 June, where he intended
to raise more
troops before continuing to Suffolk and then Norfolk, hopefully to raise those counties in support of the King.
Fairfax and his Parliamentary forces from Kent and the Essex forces under Thomas Honywood were joined outside Colchester by
Colonel John Barkstead's Infantry Brigade from London on 13 June. In total, Fairfax now had more than 5,000 experienced
troops and over one thousand cavalry. He decided to re-use the same tactics as he had recently employed against the Royalists
in Maidstone by launching an immediate and full-scale assault.

Marks Hall
Wikipedia
"
In 1163 the manor house and estate of Markshall were granted to the Markshall family after being
confiscated from Hugh de Essex.
They descended in the Markshall family until the estate was sold to John Cole, who renovated parts of the house. It was
then sold to Edward Deraugh in 1581. In 1605 Robert Honywood purchased Marks Hall from Deraugh's grandson, William,
pulled down part of the old timber-framed house and built a new brick building in 1609.
The estate then descended in the Honywood family to John Lamotte Honywood who, dying childless by suicide in 1694,
left it to his cousin Robert. Robert, the MP for Essex, modernised the house and died in 1735. Several generations later it passed to
Philip Honywood and then via his cousin, Filmer Honywood, the MP for Kent to Frances Emma, who died unmarried at Marks Hall in 1895.
