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. It is transcribed from the original, preserved among the family papers at Philipstown, Putnam county, entitled
A old acc't by Jos. Read, Administrator of Adolph Philipse.
Dr, the estate of Fred. Philipse^ Esq,, dec. to Jos. Read, against estate of Fred. Philipse.
