3. ANTHONY BROCKHOLST, bap. at Albany, Aug. 14, 1687 ; died in in- fancy.
4. ANTHONY BROCKHOLST, born July 25, 1688 ; bap. same day ; died in infancy.
5. JUDITH BROCKHOLST, born June 30, bap. July 2, 1690. At the bap. in the Dutch Church, in New York, March 30, 1726, of Maria, dau. of Frederick and Johanna (Brockholst) Philipse, DIRK VAN VEGTEN and his wife, Judith Brocholst, were sponsors. He was probably the son of Michael Dirkse Van Veghten and Maria Parker, of Albany, where he was bap. Jan. 26, 1690. From an old deed, dated April 20, 1742 (for a synop- sis of which I am indebted to Mr. G. H. Van Wagenen, of Rye, N. Y.), it appears that Michael Van Veghten removed from Albany to New Jersey as early as 1724. In this deed, Dirck Van Veghten, of Somerset Co., N. J., Gentleman, described as the son and heir of Michael Van Veghten, late of said county, deceased, conveys jointly with his wife Judith, to John Watson, merchant, of Perth Amboy, N. J., a lot of land in PERTH AMBOY, which was purchased by his father, Sept. 30, 1724, of William Loveridge, of Perth Amboy. It is probable that Judith was his first wife, and his second Elizabeth Ten Broeck, who became a communicant of the First Ref. Dutch Church in New Brunswick, in March, 1744, of which it appears he was a member as early as 1732-5 .*

8. SUSANNA BROCKHOLST, born Feb. 19, bap. Feb. 23, 1696 ; m. in 1720, PHILIP FRENCH, son of Philip French, Jr., and Anna (Philipse) French ; he was bap. Nov. 17, 1697. His father, who is described in the record of his marriage (July 6, 1694) in the Dutch Church in New York as Mr. Philip French, " Van London," was a native of Kelshall, Suffolk County, England, born in 1667, and came to New York in June, 1689. He was a prosperous merchant, and an active anti-Leislerian. He was Speaker of the Assembly in 1698, and Mayor of the city in 1702. In his will, dated May 29, 1706, proven June 3, 1707, he mentions his wife, Anna, son Philip, and daughters Elizabeth, Anna and Margaret, and refers, not by name, to the children of his brother John .*
PHILIP FRENCH probably lived in New York city until about 1727, when he became a resident of New Brunswick, N. J., where he owned a large estate in land, comprising it is said the greater portion of the present site of that town. In 1732-5 he was a member of the First Ref. Dutch Church there, of which he or his son, Philip, was a liberal benefactor in 1765. His wife, Susanna, died in Holland, whither he accompanied her for the benefit of her health in 1729-30. He married second about 1732, ANNA FARMER. He had four daughters by his first wife and one son by his second, all bap- tized in the Dutch Church in New York, viz. :
I. ANNA FRENCH bap. April 8, 1722.

June 8, 1726. He was an opulent and prosperous merchant in New York for many years before the war of the revolution, but as he was an uncompromising whig during the war, nearly the whole of his fortune was lost by his devotion to the popular cause. His death occurred Nov. 14, 1782. His wife died June 14, 1808, and was buried by his side in the cemetry of the Dutch Church, at Flatbush, L. I. They had issue seven sons and one daughter, viz. : 1.

Philipse, and grandson of Frederick * and Margaret (Hardenbroeck) Phil- ipse, of New York. He was born at Spring Head, so-called, on the estate of his father, in Barbadoes, in 1695. Left an orphan in 1700, he was sent to New York the next year by desire of his grandfather, who immediately sold the Spring Head estate, so that his grandson might not afterwards be induced to settle in Barbadoes, an arrangement that gave great displeasure to his mother's relatives. His grandfather died Nov. 6, 1702, leaving him a large estate, including the "Yonkers plantation," and by the death of his uncle, Adolph Philipse, the whole manor of Philipsburg, in Westchester County, with the upper Highland patent of Philipstown, in Putnam County, became vested in him as the nearest male heir of his grandfather, Fred- erick.t He died in New York, July 26, 1751, of consumption, and was buried in the family vault in the Dutch Church, at Sleepy Hollow, near Tarrytown. The following notice of his death is from the New York Ga. zette, etc., for July 29, 1751 :{ "New York, July 29, 1751 : Last Friday Evening departed this Life, in the 56th year of his Age, the Honorable FREDERICK PHILIPSE, Esq., one of his Majesty's Justices of the Supreme Court of this Province, and a Representative in our General Assembly for the County of Westchester. He was a Gentleman conspicuous for an abundant Fortune ; but it was not his Wealth that constituted his Merit ; his Indulgence and Tenderness to his Tenants, his more than Parental Affection for his Children, and his increased Liberality to the Indigent, surpassed the Splendor of his Estate, and procured him a more unfeigned Regard than can be purchased with Opulence, or gained by Interest. There were perhaps few Men that ever equalled him in those obliging and benevolent Manners, which, at the same Time that they attracted the Love of his Inferiors, created him all the Respect and Veneration due to his Rank and Station. That he was a Lover of his Country, is gloriously attested by his being repeatedly elected into the Assembly for the last 27 Years of his Life. He had a Disposition extremely social, and was what few ever attain to be, a good Companion. But what I have said of his Char- acter is far from being a finished Portrait ; it is only a sketch of some few of his Excellent Qualities, many features I am sure, have escaped me ; but I dare say, that those I have attempted, are not set off with false colours, but drawn faithfully from the Life."
He left surviving him his wife Johanna, two sons, Frederick his heir, and Philip, to whom was devised (in equal portions with his sisters) the upper highland patent of Philipstown, and three daughters, Susannah, wife of Mr. Beverley Robinson, Mary, whom he calls in his will his second daughter, and Margaret, called his youngest. They had nine children baptized in the Dutch Church in New York, but their dau. Mary's baptism (who married Col. Roger Morris) does not appear here, if the published date of her birth, July 5, 1730, is correct.§
His wife was killed by a fall from her carriage, on the Highland estate, in 1765. Frederick and Johanna (Brockholst) Philipse, had issue ;

though holding an elevated position in Colonial society, he was not a prominent actor in public affairs. He was, however, a member of the Assembly and Colonel in the militia. On account of his loyalty to the British crown during the war of the Revolution, his estate, one of the largest in the province, was confiscated by the New York Legislature, and upon the withdrawal of the British troops from New York in 1783, he went to England, where he died at the city of Chester, April, 30, 1785 .* He married ELIZABETH RUTGERS, a widow, the dau. of CHARLES WILLIAMS, EsQ., and had with other issue, Frederick, Jr., for an account of whom see Burke's Dictionary of the Landed Gentry, etc., and Bolton's History of Westchester, vol. I, p. 322.
2. SUSANNA PHILIPSE, bap. Feb. 3, 1723. The sponsors were Henry Brockholls and Catharina Philips. She died young.
3. PHILIPPUS PHILIPSE, bap. Aug. 28, 1724. The sponsors were Philip French and Maria Brokholst. He was a merchant for some years in New York, and died there, May 9, 1768. He married MARGARET, dau. of Nathaniel MARSTON, and had with other issue, Frederick, for an account of whom see Burke's Landed Gentry and Bolton's History of West- chester. His widow married Rev. John Ogilvie, m. 1., dated April 15, 1769, afterwards the Rev. John Ogilvie, D.D., who was at the time of his death (Nov. 26, 1774), Assistant Min- ister of Trinity Church in New York, and whose first wife was Catharine, dau. of Lancaster Symes.
4. MARIA (MARY) PHILIPSE bap. March 30, 1726. The spon- sors were Dirk Van Vegten and Judith Brocholst, his wife. She probably died young.
5. SUSANNA PHILPSE, bap. Sept. 20, 1727. The sponsors were Henry Brokholst and Susanna Brokholst, the wife of Philip French. She married, about 1750, CAPT. BEVERLEY ROBIN- SON, son of Hon. John Robinson, of King and Queen County, Virginia, and where he was prob. born in 1722. His father, on the retirement of Sir William Gooch as Governor of Virginia, in August, 1749, became President of the Coun- cil of that Colony, but died a few days thereafter. His mother, Catharine Beverley, was a dau. of Robert and Cath- arine (Hone) Beverley, of Virginia, and a sister (not the dau., as Bishop Meade has it) of Robert Beverley, author of the history of that colony, first published in 1705. He came to New York as early as 1746, and was Captain of a "Company of Foot lying in Fort George," in November of that year. His, marriage made him wealthy, giving him as it did, the possession of his wife's large estate on the Hudson River, near West Point. He was living here at the com- mencement of the Revolution, and opposing the separation of the colonies from the mother country, he raised the Loyal American Regiment, and sought to prevent that glorious re-

sult. Of this Regiment he was commissioned Colonel. In the treason of Arnold, Col. Beverley Robinson's name is conspicuous, and it is supposed he was aware of that officer's defection, before any other person. It is said he was much opposed to Major André's trusting himself to the honor " of a man who was seeking to betray his country." After the capture of that unfortunate gentleman, he was con- veyed, Sept. 26, 1780, to Col. Robinson's own house, which Arnold had occupied as headquarters, and then used by Washington temporarily as such. He and his wife and his son Beverley, Jr., were included in the " Act for the Forfeit- ure and Sale of the Estates of Persons who have adhered to the Enemies of this State, etc," passed by the New York Legislature, 22d October, 1779, and the whole of their im- mense estate passed from the family. The British Gov- ernment granted him the sum of £17,000, which was con- sidered only a partial compensation for his loss. At the conclusion of peace in 1783, Col. Robinson left for Eng- land, where he lived in retirement at Thornbury, near Bath, and died there in 1792, aged 70 years. Susanna his wife died at the same place, in November, 1822, aged 94 .* For an account of their children, see Burke's Landed Gentry, Burke's Peerage and Baronetage, and Sabine's Loyalists of the American Revolution, vol. 2, p. 221 to 229.
6. MARY PHILIPSE, born July 5, 1730. The association of this lady's name with that of Washington, lends attractiveness to her personal history, and is so interesting, that more than a brief allusion to it is deemed necessary. In February, 1756, Col. Washington left Winchester, Virginia, to have a per- sonal interview concerning his rank in the Virginia forces, with General Shirley, Commander-in-chief of the British Army in America, at Boston. Upon this journey, performed on horseback, in the depth of winter, he was absent seven weeks. " While in New York," says Mr. Sparks, "he was lodged and kindly entertained at the house of Mr. Beverley Robin- son, between whom and himself an intimacy of friendship subsisted, which indeed continued without change till severed by their opposite fortunes twenty years afterwards in the Revolution. It happened that Miss Mary Philipse, a sister of Mrs. Robinson, and a young lady of rare accomplish- ments, was an inmate in the family. The charms of this lady made a deep impression upon the heart of the Virginia colo- nel. He went to Boston, returned, and was again welcomed to the hospitality of Mr. Robinson. He lingered there, till duty called him away ; but he was careful to intrust his secret to a confidential friend, whose letters kept him informed of every important event. In a few months intelligence came that a rival was in the field, and that the consequences could not be answered for, if he delayed to renew his visits to New York. Whether time, the bustle of a camp, or the scenes

of war, had moderated his admiration, or whether he de- spaired of success, is not known. He never saw the lady again, till she was married to that same rival, Captain Morris, his former associate in arms, and one of Braddock's aids-de- camp." * Burke declares positively that she "refused the hand" of Washington, while Mr. Sabine regards this state- ment as very doubtful, and says, " the passage just cited seems to utterly disprove the assertion." Mary Philipse was married, Jan. 19, 1758, to COL. ROGER MORRIS, of an ancient English family, who was born in England, Jan. 28, 1727. He was a Captain in the 17th Foot, at the age of 17, one of General Braddock's aid-de-camps, and wounded at the defeat of that officer, July 8, 1755, on the Monongahela. He accompanied Wolfe in 1759 to Quebec, and participated in the battle on the plains of Abraham. On the 19th of May, 1760, he was made Lieutenant-Colonel of the 47th Foot, and in June, 1764, retired from the army. He settled in New York, and was a Member of the Council, from 1765 to the commencement of the war. Col. Morris' country-seat was situated on the high bank of the Harlem River, at the pres- ent 169th Street. The premises are now better known as the late Madame Jumel's estate. Adhering to the Crown during the war of the Revolution, his property, including the large estate of his wife, was confiscated by the New York Legis- lature in 1779. He received from the English government the same amount that Col. Robinson did, £17,000, as "compensation money." It appears, however, that, owing to his marriage settlement, the Confiscation Act did not affect the rights of Mrs. Morris' children, and in 1809, they sold to John Jacob Astor their reversionary interest in the estate for £20,000. In 1828, Mr. Astor received from the State of New York, for the rights thus purchased, the sum of $500,000. At the close of the war, Col. Morris went to England, where he died, Sept. 13, 1794, aged 67. His widow died, July 18, 1825, aged 96. The remains of both were de- posited near Saviour-gate Church, York.+ She and her sister Susanna were remarkable for their longevity, considering the fact that their father died of consumption, and three of their sisters and two brothers in infancy. Col. Roger and Mary (Phi- lipse) Morris, had with other issue Henry Morris, for an 'ac- count of whom see Burke's Landed Gentry and Sabine's Loy- alists.
7. MARGARITA PHILIPSE, bap. Feb. 4, 1733. The sponsors were Adolf Philipze and Margarita de Peyster. She is supposed . to be the Margaret named in her father's will as his youngest daughter. She died in July, 1752, unmarried.
8. ANTHONY PHILIPSE, bap. July 13, 1735. The sponsors were David Clarkson and Maria Ver Plank, the wife of Henry . Brockhols. Died young.

II. PAULUS SCHRICK (son of Paulus and Maria (Varleth) Schrick), bap. Sept. 2, 1663, the same date as his sister Susanna Maria. He was born at Hartford, Conn., and joined the Dutch Church, in New York, March 5, 1681. He was a merchant, and engaged in the Virginia trade. He married May 11, 1686, MARIA DE PEYSTER, dau. of Jan (or Johannes) and Cornelia (Lubberts) de Peyster .* She was born Sept. 5, bap. Sept. 7, 1659, and became a communicant of the Dutch Church, June 10, 1682. This lady, whom we regard, by reason of her birth and alliances, as one of the most remarkable women born in New Amsterdam, was thrice married, and it is hazarding little of historical accuracy to say that a complete account of her family connections, by birth and marriage, would include a fuller history of the civil and military affairs of colonial times than the same account of any other person, born during the Dutch possession of Man- hattan Island.
PAULUS SCHRICK, her first husband, died Oct. 11, 1685, just five months from the day of his marriage-an event which Dominie Selyns doubtless deemed sufficiently noteworthy, from the high social position of the young couple, to place in the church records. Their dwelling during their brief married life was on the east side of the Heeren Gracht (Broad Street.) They had no issue.
She married, second, Aug. 26, 1687, JOHN SPRATT, of Wigton, in Gallo- way, Scotland, and had three daughters and one son baptized in the Dutch Church, in New York.
- * JAN (or JOHANNES) DE PEYSTER, the ancestor of a distinguished race of noted public men in the civil and military affairs of New York, was born at Harlem, in Holland, and came to New Amsterdam as early as July, 1649. His ancestors were originally from France, of noble descent, and fled to Holland to escape the persecution of Charles IX. against his Protestant subjects. Possessed of a considerable fortune by in- heritance, he engaged in mercantile pursuits upon his arrival here, his trading operations being chiefly with the home country, and soon became in wealth and influence one of the prominent men of New Amsterdam. He was a Schepen in 1655-1657, 1658, and 1662 ; Alderman, 1666, 1667, and 1669; Burgomaster, 1673 ; Alderman, 1673 and 1676, and Deputy Mayor in 1677, having declined the Mayoralty in that year, on ac- count of his imperfect acquaintance with the English language. It has been supposed he died prior to 1686, but as no mention of his widow's name (as such), who survived him many years, is found till 1689, it is prob- able his death occurred near the latter date. He married in the Dutch Church in New Amsterdam, Dec. 17, 1651, CORNELIA LUBBERTS, also from Harlem. She was a near relative of the De La Noys, and prob- ably the sister of Marritie Lubberts. wife of Abraham De La Noy, who was keeper of the City tavern in 1652, and the first of that family in New Amsterdam. She made her will Jan. 19, 1699, with two codicils ; the first dated Dec. 22, 1711, and the second -- 17, 1714. It was admitted to probate Sept. 25, 1725. Supposing that to have been the year of her death, and that she was eighteen years old when married, her death must have occurred at the advanced age of 92 years. Johannes De Peyster and Cornelia Lubberts had nine children baptized in the Dutch Church, in New York, viz. :
