His father was the lawyer Johann Peter Orth (1663–1735), his mother Sarah b. Mayer . His brother Hieronymus Wilhelm Orth (* May 7, 1700 in Frankfurt am Main; † September 22, 1779 there) also became a lawyer in Frankfurt.
He studied law in Marburg and Halle, where he received his doctorate in 1720. In 1721 he settled in Frankfurt as a lawyer. In 1731 he published a commentary on the Frankfurt Reformation under the title Nöthig and useful comments on the so-called renewed Reformation of the city of Frankfurt am Main . It was followed from 1742 to 1754 by a four-volume historical work on the Frankfurt trade fairs under the title Detailed treatise of the famous imperial fairs , so held annually in the imperial city of Frankfurt am Main . They are considered to be an important cultural and historical source on legal relationships, finance and the trade in goods during the Frankfurt trade fairs.
Johann Philipp Orth also held the office of Young Burgrave , i.e. the deputy head of the Frauensteiner patrician society in Frankfurt .
In 1722 he married Maria Margaretha (1695–1725), daughter of his uncle Johann Philipp Orth , widowed Barckhaus . She died shortly after her last delivery. He had three daughters with her, the eldest of whom, Sara, married the Frankfurt patrician Johann Daniel von Olenschlager . The daughter Susanna (1725–1797) married the Frankfurt lawyer Benjamin von Schneider (1731–1777). Through their daughter Susanna they became the grandparents of the brothers Friedrich Philipp Wilhelm von Malapert and Adolph von Malapert-Neufville .
His marriage to Anne Marie Sonderhausen (1702–1731) in 1728 resulted in two sons who died as small children. Anne Marie Orth b. Sonderhausen died shortly after the birth of the second son.
Together with his third wife Susanna Elisabeth born in 1733 . Huth († 1778) founded an orphanage in 1768 Orth . Orthstrasse in Frankfurt-Bornheim is named after him.
