She was, along with her brother Philip (1724–1768) and sisters Susanna (1727–1822) and Mary (1730–1825), a one-quarter heir to the roughly 250 sq mi (650 km2) "Highland Patent" of her father (later to become known as the Philipse Patent, and in time today's Putnam County of southeastern New York). She died intestate, and her share was equally divided among her named living siblings. A redistribution of the land among them was done in 1754.[3]
As all the Philipses were Loyalists during the Revolutionary War, Margaret's siblings had their lands seized in 1779 by the Revolutionary government of the Province of New York[4] and were never compensated for their loss.[5]

^French's Gazetteer of the State of New York (1860): “The Philipses Patent… divided among the remaining three [children] Philip… Susannah married to Beverly Robinson, and Mary married to Col. Roger Morris. On the 7th of Feb 1754, the patent was divided into 9 lots: 3, each 4 mi. square, bordering upon the Hudson and denominated ‘water lots;’ 3, each 4 mi. wide by 12 long, extending N. and S. across the patent, and denominated ‘long lots;’ 3, each 4 mi. square, upon the E. border denominated ‘back lots.’ Philip, Susannah and Mary Philipse each owned one of each kind of lots."

^Description of the Abstract of Sales, Commissioners of Forfeiture [3] "Many citizens of New York, however, still harbored strong resentment against the loyalists, leading the Provincial Congress to effectively nullify the Treaty of Paris of 1783 by an act of May 12, 1784."
