Notes
The village of De Moer in the Netherlands was founded in the 14th century and has never really grown since then. The name of the village refers to its location on a bog. ‘Moer’ simply means moor or boggy land in Dutch.
Philip Philipse (de Moer) m. Elizabeth Gansevoort of Albany, about 1685, and soon went to Schenectady. He owned the sixth Flat, north of the Mohawk River, which he exchanged in 1689 for " Willegen Vlachte," south of the river, about one mile above Crane's Village. Philip and Elizabeth Philipse were the parents of Harmen Philipse and of Sander Philipse, the latter, bap. at Albany, Jan. 24, 1656, was living in the Mohawk's country with wife Margaret, in 1730.
Sander and Harmen Philipse were the nearest neighbors of young William Johnson, afterwards Sir William Johnson, when he came to America to take charge of the estates of his uncle, Sir Peter Warren, and built a storehouse and dwelling in 1738 on the south side of the river, and about half a mile east of the river bridge at Amsterdam.
The Philipse brothers, living about two miles farther east, had at this time a young bound-girl or servant, named Catherine Weisenberg.
She attracted the attention of Johnson, who bought her indentures and married her. The affair is more circumstantially related in Sims’s Frontiersmen of New York, and Reid's Story of Old Fort Johnson, where the brothers are called Alexander and Hamilton Phillips.

It is said of Philip Phillipse that when the news of the massacre of Schenectady reached the settlers along the river, he fled with his family to the woods and lay concealed until the French and Indians, fearing retaliation from the aroused Dutchmen and their friends, the Mohawks, fled to Canada, with the settlers in hot pursuit.
With Phillips during this season of horrors was his baby boy, Lewis, who, when a man and engaged as a farmer and Indian trader, sold Catherine Weisenberg to Wm. Johnson. The true story as handed down in the traditions of the Phillips family is interesting, even though stripped of the usual embellishment of the stories of J. R. Simms.

Sixth Flat.
This flat begins just east of the seventh flat from which it is separated by the Droybergh, Verf or color kil, alias Tequatsera. It was owned in 1864, by Aaron Swart.
It was first occupied by Philip Philipse De Moer as a tenant of the trustees of Schenectady. In 1689 he exchanged his ownership in the same with Claas Willemse Van Coppernol for a portion of the Willegen Vlachte and in 1708, Sander his son, leased it for twelve years at a rent of £2.85. It then
consisted of five morgens with an additional three morgens of woodland.

On the 2nd Sept., 1714, on a petition of Jacobus Van Dyck in the name of the consistory, Reyer Schermerhorn conveyed this flat containing about seven morgens or fourteen acres, —also ten morgens, or twenty acres of woodland lying behind it,—to the Dutch church. In 1770, Esaias Swart was in possession of this plain which then was computed to contain seven morgens. *
