PHILIPSE, Adolphus (or Flypse)
Son of Frederick, was born at New York in 1665 and educated as a merchant, which pursuit he followed in connection with his large landed estate in Westchester Co. He held several prominent offices, and was a member of the Provincial Council under Lord Cornbury until 1721; he was subsequently a member of this Assembly and Speaker from 1727 to 1737 and from 1739 to 1745. He died in 1751 in his eighty-fifth year. He never married. He was left a great deal of real estate by his father, which he in turn left to his nephew, Frederick Phillipse.
