  • Frederick Philipse (born Frederick Flypsen; 1626 in Bolsward, Netherlands – December 23, 1702), first Lord of the Manor of Philipseborough (Philipsburg) and patriarch of the Philipse family, was a Dutch immigrant to North America of Bohemian heritage. A merchant, he arrived in America as early as 1653. In 1662, he married Margaret Hardenbrook de Vries, a wealthy and driven widow. Together, and variously in league with slavers, pirates, and other undesirables, the couple amassed a fortune. Beginning in 1672 Philipse and some partners started acquiring land in what was to become lower Westchester County, New York. When the British took over the Dutch colony in 1674, Philipse pledged his allegiance to the Crown and was rewarded with a title and manorship for his holdings, which ultimately grew to some 81 sq mi (210 km2) (210 km2). Serving later on the Governor's executive council, he was subsequently banned from government office for conducting a slave trade into New York. Upon his death, Philipse was one of the greatest landholders in the Province of New York. He owned the vast stretch of land spanning from Spuyten Duyvil Creek, in the Bronx (then in lower Westchester County), to the Croton River. He was regarded by some as the richest man in the Colony. His son Adolphus acquired substantial land north of modern Westchester sanctioned as the royal Philipse Patent. Stripped from the family after the Revolution for their Tory sympathies, the some 250 sq mi (650 km2) tract became the present-day Putnam County, New York. (en)

Toen de Britten de Nederlandse kolonie overnamen, koos Philipse de kant van de Engelse kroon en werd daarvoor beloond met een titel en heerschap. Hij diende daarbij in de raad van de plaatselijke gouverneur. Hij werd op een bepaald moment verbannen uit de gouverneursraad voor het organiseren van een slavenhandel in New York. Hij is het meest bekend om zijn nalatenschap van bouwwerken als de Oude Nederlandse Kerk van Sleepy Hollow en Philipsburg Manor. (nl)
