Another shared set of ancestors (just a single line for me, from Thomas and Elizabeth, your generation 2). Do I recall correctly that George Andrews Moriarty made an attempt to trace the Felbrigge ancestry further back?

Yes, he wrote a whole article on the knightly family of Felbrigge and how the Bures family must be a cadet branch of the knightly family. However, there are no probates for the Felbrigges so we can only be certain from Thomas Felbrigge on. His paternity is questionable, either an Edward or a Robert. But he names sons both names. So, you have to assume that somehow the Philibricks descend from this knightly family.
