His will bears date the 6th day of June, 1751.' The following notice of his death appeared in the New York Gazette, for July 29th, 1 75 1 : "New York, July 29th, 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 incessant 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 even equalled him in those obliging and benevolent Manners, which, at the same time that they attracted the Love of his Inferiors, gained 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 twenty-seven 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 character 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 colors, but drawn faithfully from the Life."
