[Note: Philip Philipse was son of Frederick Philipse and brother of Frederick Philipse, the last Lord of the Manor of Philipsburgh, in Westchester County. His mother was Joana Brockholst. He was the owner of one-third of the Patent granted to his uncle, Adolph Philipse, which includes almost the whole of Putnam County, N.Y. The Lot No. 8 mentioned is in the eastern part of the County. His brother Nathaniel was killed in the battle of Germantown. His brother Adolph died unmarried, so that the entire third of the Patent fell to him. The other two-thirds were owned by his sisters, Mary, wife of Col. Roger Morris, and Susannah, wife of Beverley Robinson. Philip Philipse married Margaret, daughter of Nathaniel Marston. Their home in New York was the southeast corner of Pine and William streets, which was given to them by Nathaniel Marston, and remained in the possession of their descendants til very recent years. Philip Philipse died in New York, May 9, 1768, in the forty-fourth year of his age. His widow married Rev. John Ogilve, of Trinity Church, April 17, 1769 - W.S.P.].
