Philip William Scriber II was born
in 1837. Philip was the fourth child and third son of Philip William and Polly Wright
Schriver.
Philip
and Mary are found in the 1860 census of Sullivan County NY (Town of
Liberty): Philip W. Scriber, 25 yr farmer; Mary,
22 yr; Alfie and Newton,
1 yr. twins.
It
appears that his wife Mary, and twin sons may have died early in the
marriage. Sullivan
County Court House Record (land transaction): 1863
Philip W. Schriber from Philip Schriber
Liber 47 p. 471. This
appears to have been land transferred from father to son. This record says name of wife was Catherine
Charlet/Chailet. As mentioned above in the 1860 census records,
his wife was Mary. Since it is assumed she died early, is it
possible that Philip remarried this Catherine? We may never know!
Philip William died in Colchester,
Delaware Co NY, on February 14, 1902. He was 65. He was
buried in Downsville NY on June 16, 1902. His
death certificate does not list a wife. The name of his parents were listed as
"unknown" but this certificate was found among the papers of
Adelbert Scriber leading to the conclusion that Philip was Adelbert's
uncle and a brother of his father, John Eli. John's father was also
Philip lending even more evidence to this belief.
Philip is listed as
a farmer and having been attended by a physician named Edward A. Howell
for heart disease from February 13, 1902 until his death. He lived in
Delaware County . His will is filed in Delhi NY and the following were
listed as his only heirs: Martin and Peter of Livingston Manor, Polly
Scriber residing in NY State, nephews and nieces, Adelbert M., Bert B.,
Carrie M. of Monticello, Blake D. of Livingston Manor, Alva Anderson
residing in CA, Harkness Cochran and niece Elsie Cochran residing in PA.

Mary ? was Philip's wife. A
reference in the Schock work puts her birth as 1838, but based on the
1860 census information, she was born ca 1840. We know little else
about her.
