Estate of Mr. 



The daughters of Frederick Philipse and Margaret Hardenbrook were: 

 Eva, born in September, 1660, and baptized 3d of October, following 

 who married Jacobus Van Cortlandt from whom descend the Van Cort- 

 landts of Yonkers and the Jays, of Rye and Bedford. Annetje, the 

 second daughter, married Philip French, originally of Kelsale, Suffolk 

 County, England, where his family were extensive land-holders. He 

 died in 1707 leaving issue a son, Philip French (by a second wife), who 

 married Sussanah Brockholst, and five daughters; the eldest of whom 

 was Susan who married William Livingston, Governor of New Jersey, 

 whose daughter, Sarah, married the Hon. John Jay. Philip French, the 

 third of that name died unmarried. 



By the death of Adolph Philipse the whole manor of Philipsburgh be- 

 came vested in his nephew, the Hon. Frederick Philipse, as the nearest 

 male heir of his grandfather, Frederick. This distinguished personage 

 was born upon the Springhead estate, island of Barbadoes, A.D. 1698. 

 From 1721 to 1728 he filled the office of speaker to the House of As- 

 sembly in the province of New York, and in 1733 was Baron of the 

 Exchequer, and third Judge of the Supreme Court — an office which he 

 held until the day of his death. He also founded St. John's church, 

 Yonkers, and liberally endowed it with a valuable glebe. The Council 

 of New York addressing the Duke of New Castle on December 13th, 

 1733, thus alludes to him "as a very worthy gentleman of plentiful 

 fortune and good education, third Judge of the Supreme Court." a The 

 Hon. Frederick Philipse married in 1726 Joanna, daughter of Governor
