Unknown, "Came to the Plantation of Philip Wynkoop," The Pennsylvania Gazette, Philadelphia, Pa., Thursday, 7th December 1769.

    This particular Philip Wynkoop is my 5th great-grandfather and I am descended from his youngest son, also named Philip.

    Richard Wynkoop, in the 1904 edition of the Wynkoop Genealogy in the United States of America, has this to say about him on pages 34-35:

    48. Philip Wynkoop, (Gerret 5, Cornelius 1,) baptized, Kingston, N. Y., September 11, 1709: died July 14, 1771: married Margaret Conover, or Koenhoven, of Monmouth, N. J., who died in 1775, aged 61. (Koenhoven = brave court.] His last will, as of the manor of Moorland, County of Philadelphia, Penn., dated July 13, 1771, proved August 10, 1771, mentions his wife Margaret; his sons, Garret, Cornelius, and Philip; his daughter Sarah; Philip and Margaret Van Sakel [Sickle], children of his daughter Lenah; Mary Hoogland; and Margaret Titus: and appoints his wife and his son Garret, executors.
    Children of Philip and Margaret Wynkoop:
158. Sarah. She is mentioned first in the will of her father, 1771, who left to her eighty pounds.
159. Mary: bp. June 5, 1737, "Maria": m., July 3, 1767, George Hoogland ("Hogeland"): d. in 1789, aged 52. Marriage license was dated June 20, 1767, Mary Winecoop and George Hoogland.
160. Elizabeth: m. Richard Van Sicler, under marriage license, dated March 31, 1761. Richard was brother to Ferdinand, and two years younger. See Richard Wynkoop Van Sicler, under Eleanor [161].
    It is not certain that Elizabeth was daughter of Philip. He does not mention her in his will, 1771; but she may then have been dead, and without issue.
161. Eleanor: supposed to be the child baptized June 18, 1741: married, June 10, 1757, Fernandus Van Sicler.
162. Margaret: married January 26, 1764, Francis Titus, Abington ch., Penn. License was dated January 14, 1764.
163. Garret: supposed to be the child baptized Feb. 9, 1744: d. in 1822: m. Mch. 28, 1793, Nancy Van Hoorn.
164. Cornelius: married. But see Cornelius [148].
165. Henry: b. about 1748: d. Jan. 9, 1771, in his 24th year, a few days before the death of his father, leaving no issue.
166. Philip: b. about 1756: died about 1814: married Jan. 20, 1791, Catharine Van Hoorn.
