My late mother-in-law’s mom was a Schuyler, in direct decent from Philip. My youngest son’s middle name is Schuyler in honor of the awesome legacy!
Great legacy. I saw Philip Schuyler’s country mansion (rebuilt after Burgoyne burned the original one) near Saratoga a few years ago (exterior only), but I didn’t know much about him until I did some reading a week or two ago. Washington always had confidence in him and was upset that Congress replaced him with Gates. Schuyler narrowly escaped being kidnapped by British agents at one point in the latter part of the war.
