[Robert Bolton, Jr. (1848)] The surname Felypsen is a patronymic from Philip — the F for the PH, and the ij for the single Y; hence the English substitute, Frederick Philipse, which at an early period became the adopted name of the family, — the Dutch termination se or sen, meaning in English son. Vrederyck therefore the son of Felyp.c Besides their high rank as nobles, they appear also to have held the office of Grand Veneurs, or keepers of the deer forests in Bohemia.<i In the year 1658, Frederick Philipse, (hav-ing previously obtained the consent of the Stadiholder and States General,) emigrated from East Friesland to the New Netherlands, carrying" with him money, plate and jewels. « Upon his arrival in the city of New Amsterdam, (as New York was then called,) he purchased a large estate, and soon became one of its wealthiest merchants. On the 9th of February, 1653, Governor Stuyve-sant granted certain lots within the city of New Amsterdam to Frederick Philipse, which were subsequently confirmed to him by the English governor, on the 12th of April, 1667. In the general tax list of 1674, raised by the Dutch, on their reconquest of the city and province, we find the estate of Fred-erick Philipse assessed at 80,000 guilders. f By his wife Marga-ret Dacres, he left one son, Frederick, born at Bolswaert, East Friesland, A.D. 1656. Frederick Philipse, jun., was the first lord of the manor of » Burke's Hist, of tlie Landed Gent, of Great Britain.
