Betty  was an enslaved girl, age 3, listed just before “cattle” in Adolph Philipse’s 1750 Probate Inventory. Because the Philipse family rarely visited Philipsburg Manor, girls were not needed there for domestic labor — adult enslaved women handled the commercial dairy. Young enslaved girls were most likely moved to Frederick Philipse’s larger home in Yonkers for training in housework once they reached a certain age. Within a year, Betty had been moved to Yonkers.
