Philip predeceased his father, and family lands passed on to younger son Adolphus Philipse.

[7] Philipse II served as a Justice of the Peace, an Alderman and was repeatedly elected as Representative for the County of Westchester in the New York Assembly for the last twenty-seven years of his life until 1751.

[1] On April 6, 1733, Philipse II, as a committee member, helped to lay out the original Bowling Green in lower Manhattan.

As Second Justice, Philipse participated in the New York Slave Conspiracy trials of 1741 which, based upon questionable testimony, resulted in death sentences for thirty-four defendants and the deportation of ninety-one others away from the colony.

[8] In 1726, Philipse was married to Johanna Brockholst (1700–1765), youngest daughter of Anthony Brockholst, Esq., the 4th Governor of New York after it became part of Great Britain, and Susanna Maria, the daughter of Paulus Aemilius Schrect, of the Pompton Estate, in New Jersey, who had emigrated from West Friesland in Holland.

[c][3] Philipse died of consumption in New York on July 26, 1751; and was buried in the family vault in the Dutch Church at Sleepy Hollow, near Tarrytown.

[14] Later known as the Philipse Patent, the roughly 250 square mile parcel became today's Putnam County, New York.
