The manor's Loyalist title was attainted - and his fortune fell to neighbors
In this episode we trace the long, tangled history of a Hudson River hillside: indigenous occupation, Dutch settlement, a Philipse manor built on enslaved labor and Crown loyalty, and the Revolutionary-era decisions that set a chain of property transfers in motion. How did a family's political allegiance and an inventory that listed people before furniture lead to a wholesale redistribution of land?
Person: Frederick Philipse III
Event: Attainder for Loyalist treason (1779)
Location: Upper Mills / Philipsburg Manor, Hudson River hillside
Person: Gerard Garret Beekman Jr.
Document: 1750 probate inventory listing twenty-three enslaved people first
- Frederick Philipse built Philipsburg Manor and the Old Dutch Church atop a hill the Dutch called Slapershaven.
- A 1750 probate inventory for Adolphus Philipse lists twenty-three enslaved people before any furniture or tools.
- The Upper Mills were leased to tenants like Josiah Martling and William Pugsley while the Philipse family collected rents.
- During the Revolution the hillside sat in the Neutral Ground, with Loyalist and Patriot households living side by side.
- After the 1779 attainder, roughly fifty-two thousand acres were divided into about three hundred lots and auctioned, with the Upper Mills ending up in Gerard Beekman Jr.'s hands.
