Adolph took the northern portion, extending on the south to the present Dobbs Ferry and bounded on the west by the Hudson River, on the north by a line running from the mouth of the Croton to the sources of the Bronx, and on the east by the Bronx River. Frederick's share, also reaching from the Hudson to the Bronx, had for its southern limits Spuyten Duyvil Creek and the line of Fordham Manor. In this divided condition the manor remained until the death of Adolph in 1740, when, as no issue survived him, it was consolidated under the sole ownership of Fred-erick. By him the whole manor was transmitted at his death in 1751 to his eldest son, the third Frederick, who continued in pos-session of it until the Revolution. When tin-first Frederick Philipse died, the manor had been in ex-istence only nine years.
