He sailed on the ship PATIENCE from Rotterdam, Holland. Arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on 16 September 1748. Passenger lists from Archives of Pennsylvania, show his name as Philip Filhower on the Captain's list. Written by a crew member. The other is his own signature Jorg Philip Wilhauser. The third list which is the oath of Allegiance is missing. They had to sign the oath of Allegiance to get off the ship. The oath of Allegiance was to William Penn. Little is known of Philip from the time he arrived in the colonies until he settled in New Jersey. The story goes, as there are no facts to base it on..Philip met a young lady named Anna Maria Margarthea Mueller, on board ship. Five years after his arrival, he walked to Philadelphia, where they married. They settled on the homestead that originally consisted of 200 acres just off a curve at the end of what is now Long View Road. Signed lease from 1758 to 1760 according to early Hunterdon County records. ( Mountainville) Mountainville is the most notable physical and historical feature of the western part of Tewksbury Township, Hunterdon County, New Jersey. The pictueque village, which has many of the aspects of a New England community, nestled at the western edge of 957 foot Heli Mountain, the wooded elevation that gave the town its name. Although people for miles around claim to live in Mountainville, the village proper consists of only a few more than a dozen houses, most of them along Main Street, which becomes Water Street on its western extension towards Cokesbury (Cokesburgh in 1873 ). No less than four streams meet in and around the village, forming the northern branch of Rockaway Creek. The latter then flows generally southeast to join its southernly branch near White House. Because of the streams you would expect to find a number of bridges in the town and you do, seven of them. These originally were stone arches. one of these was widely known because of the color postcard on wich it was printed. A flood destroyed this bridge in 1970 and the county highway department replaced it with a modern span. One stone arch bridge remains immediately within the village, Philhower Road just after you have turned off Main Street. Stone arch bridges built by Philhowers. The stone house the Philhowers built there is one of the most substantial in Tewksbury. It is at least 200 years old. It has a walk - in -fireplace, the walls are 18 inches thick. His first home was made of logs with trodden earth floor - one large room and a loft above. After the birth of his children, he built the stone house. At the junction of Main Street and Philhower Road sits one of the most historic buildings in the town. The Mountainville Hotel, run for the better part of 200 years by generations of the Potter family. Exactly when it was built is not known, but an old map shows it was standing in 1842 and in use as a hotel by Daniel Potter Sr. Not many people arrived in Mountainville before the Philhowers. They are descendants of Philip Philhower, that live there. Philip was appointed an OVERSEER OF THE ROADS for Tewksbury Township, New Jersey., which was important office at the time that George Washington and his army were at Morristown, New Jersey, preparing to move in any direction on earliest indication of the intentions of the British General, who had left Perth Amboy, New Jersey. As it did turn out, General Howe went towards Philadelphia, sailed south into the Delaware River in July 1777. Where upon George Washington left Morristown, New Jersey, in direction of Philadelphia. On 27 July 1777, at 2 pm ate lunch at the Larger Cross Roads (still in existence) about five miles east of Oldwick and from that place addressed a letter to Continental Congress. In this letter, he mentions the route to be taken by each of his generals and he himself was going to march six or seven miles further that day. This carried Washington to the home of John Moholm of Tewksbury, New Jersey, (per his letter dated Bucks County, August 15, 1777). From the preceding statements it can be seen that several of Tewksbury roads were used on his march by various divisions of Washington's Army.

Determined to go to NYC a group of German Pioneers went by land towards NYC. George Philhower settled in Tewksbury Township in New Jersey. When George was 53 years old he was assigned the job of overseer of the roads for Tewksbury Township. This was a very important job as the Revolunionary War was going at the time. General George Washington and his soldiers were traveling these roads from Morristown, NJ to Philadelphia whwere he would make the famousmcrossing of the Delaware River. Washington wrote a letter while at the home of John Mohelm in Tewksbury to the Contential Congress telling them the routes his armies would take were the roads George Philip Philhower was in charge of watching George was supposed to keep his eyes open for Red Coats so General Washington's Army wouldn't be ambushed.
