Philip F. Clarkson was probably born in either New York or New Jersey. The earliest known record of him is his marriage to Sarah Powelson in November 1813 at Somerville, Somerset Co., New Jersey.
Philip and Sarah's first three children (Abraham, David and Isaac) were all baptised in the 1st Reformed Dutch Church of Raritan (Somerville), in Somerset County, New Jersey.
The family moved from New Jersey to New York settling in Seneca County at Ovid about 1820. Their son Peter Phineas Clarkson was born there in 1821.
Philip's wife Sarah died in March 1824 and Philip married next to Jane Sebring in December of that year. Philip and Jane had 3 children together: Cornelius in 1826, Sarah in 1827 and Folkerd 'Sebring' Clarkson in 1830, about 3 weeks before is Philip's death.
Philip died on August 5, 1830 at Ovid, New York. The list of tools in the inventory of his estate suggest that his occupation may have been that of a joiner or carpenter.
------------------------------------------
NOTE: I believe it is possible that Philip was named Philip French Clarkson and he is a grandson of David Clarkson Jr. (1726-1782) & Elizabeth (French) Clarkson. Elizabeth (French) Clarkson's father, Philip French, died in 1782 - the year that Philip F. Clarkson was born. Philip F. Clarkson was first known to be living in Somerville on the Raritan River on land that had once been owned by Philip French and who was responsible for the land being opened to development.
