By this will all that portion of the manor north of Dobb's Ferry, including the present town became vested in Adolphus or Adolph Philipse, second son of the devisee. This individual was also proprietor of the great Highland patent, situated north of St. Anthony's Nose, granted on the 1 7th of June, 1697, and the executor of his brother, Philip Philipse's estate, letters of administration having been granted to him in that capacity on the 22dof Dec, 1714.^ Adolph Philipse died without issue A.D. 1749. The following inventory of money, plate, jewels, and household furniture, &c., &c., belonging to the manor house, which was taken in 1752 (after the death of Adolph Philipse,) affords a curious specimen of the habits and tastes of a gentleman at that early period.
