About Philip Schuyler Lansing

http://www.nysm.nysed.gov/albany/bios/l/phlansing3648.html

Philip Lansing was born in February 1729. He was a younger son of Albany businessman Johannes Lansing, Jr. and his wife, Albany native Geertruy Schuyler Lansing. He grew up in Albany's second ward.

In May 1757, Philip was twenty-eight when he married Albany native Elsie Hun. By 1778, their eight children were baptized in the Albany Dutch church where he was a longtime pewholder and occasional baptism sponsor.

He held a provincial militia commission - serving as a lieutenant under Philip Schuyler as early as 1755. Two decades later, he was called "Major" when he resigned his commission in July 1775.

Philip Lansing was a skipper who carried cargoes on the Hudson for William Johnson and others. During the Seven Years War, he served with the boatman on Lake George.

In 1751, he was appointed constable for the second ward. He also served as firemaster and was paid by the city of performing various tasks. His modest third ward home was listed on city assessment rolls. In 1763, his name appeared on a list of Albany freeholders. In 1790, his house included eleven family members and five slaves.

Early in 1766, he joined his Albany neighbors in signing the constitution of the Albany Sons of Liberty. In July 1777, he was delegated to procure lead and axeheads from his Albany neighbors by the Albany Committee of Correspondence. However, he was not accorded a bounty right for militia service.

After 1790, the name of Philip Lansing dropped from Albany rolls!
