[Robert Bolton, Jr. (1848)] vidual took some steps towards the erection of the church previous to his death, which happened in 1751 : (he died of consumption at the age of 53.) In his will, which is dated the Glh of June, of the same year, he directs, " That out of the rents that were, or should thereafter be due to him, from the manor of Philipsborough, the sum of £400 be by his executrix laid out in erecting a building or finishing a church of England as bylaw established, on the farm near and to the northward of the house then in the tenure of William Jones, sen., unless he should build the said church in his lifetime; and he de-vised all the said farm with all the buildings thereon, unto all his children, and their heirs, in trust, for the use of such minis-ters of the church of England as by law established, as should be from time to time admitted or instituted in the said church; and so for ever to remain for a glebe to the said church."^ That the building was commenced in 1752, there is no doubt, for among the family papers, occurs an account of the expenses on the church at Philipsborough to the estate of Frederick Philipse, debtor," commencing Nov. 1752, closing December, 1753, whole amount, £623 6s. 9d. This sum shows that his executrix had exceeded the original bequest in the will, £223.
