Philip Philipse (1724–1768)

Philip Philipse (1724–1768) was the second son of Frederick Philipse II, 2nd Lord of Philipsburg Manor of Westchester County, New York.

He was, along with his sisters Susanna (1727–1822), Mary (1730–1825), and Margaret (1733-1752), a one-quarter heir to the roughly 250 sq mi (650 km2) "Highland Patent" of his father (later to become known as the Philipse Patent, and in time today's Putnam County of southeastern New York).

Margaret died intestate, and her share was equally divided among her named living siblings.

[1] Philip's elder brother, Frederick Philipse III (1720–1785), inherited the family's vast 52,000 acre hereditary estate in lower Westchester County, New York, Philipsburg Manor, and was its third and last Lord.

[2] Though never compensated for their losses by the Colonial government,[3] various family members did receive payments from the British government in following years.
