Susannah was the daughter of Frederick Philipse II and his wife Joanna and she was the sister of Frederick III. She married Colonel Beverly Robinson of the British army, and the young couple settled on the estate on the Hudson River which she inherited from her father. This land, like that of the Philipse Manor, was confiscated at the time of the Revolution when the Philipses remained loyal to the crown.
