The Family of Philip Schuyler Son of Arent.

When Arent Schuyler removed from Pompton to New Barbadoes his son Philip remained on the farm at Pompton and is the immediate forefather of the branches of the family that settled in this vicinity. He was born at Albany and baptized there Sep 11, 1687 and died at Pompton about 1760. He and his children must have had a large __________ estate. He married about 1712 Hesther Kingsland, daughter of Isaac Kingsland of New Barbadoes who was a member of the Council under several of the deputy Governors of New Jersey. They had 12 children.

*********************************

Philip Schuyler, a son of Arent, we are to presume, had patriotic impulses towards self-government long before the tea was thrown overboard at Boston or Patrick Henry made his famous speech, for we are told that Philip was expelled from the New Jersey Assembly in colonial days for drinking a health "to the damnation of the government and justices of the peace." He was subsequently restored to his seat.
