In 1697, Adolph Philipse (sometimes spelled Flypsen or Flipse) was granted a patent for a large tract of land called the Highland Patent, that would later become Putnam Valley County. In 1717 this land became the South Ward of Dutchess County, one of the original twelve counties in New York established in 1683. A Dutchess County census taken in 1714 tallied just 18 heads of households in what became the South Ward. The Philipse family made little attempt to divide their land or encourage settlement. By 1737 there were only 161 heads of households in the entire ward. The tract passed through the Philipse family, was divided into lots in 1751 and eventually lot #4, which included the area of Putnam Valley, was left to Colonel Beverly and Susannah Philipse Robinson.
