This society is in communion with the Bedford Presbytery.
In the grave yard adjoining the church, are buried the remains of the
REV. SAMUEL SACKETT, who died June 5th, 1784. He was a judicious, faithful, laborious and successful minister of Christ. Thrice blest departed spirit thou art free From the toils of mortality.
The monument of his son is inscribed as follows : " Here lyes the body of Joseph Sackett, born April 18th, 1735, and departed this life, December, 1757."
" Behold all ye that now pass by," As you are now, so once was I, As I am now, so you must be, Prepare for death and follow me.
There are also monuments to Captain Samuel Sackett, Deacon Knapp and others. In the south-east corner of the yard, lie the mortal remains of Colonel Green, the hero of the Red bank, and Major Flagg his brave companion in arms, both of whom fell by the hands of cruel treachery, on the morning of the 14th of May, 1781. But where shall we look for a monument or even a stone to mark the spot where these brave patriots lie pillowed in the dust ? When will justice be rendered to the memory of the brave and illustrious dead who fell in the noble cause of free- dom ?

HISTORY OF THE
The parsonage is situated at a short distance from the church and stands on the site of the old building which was occupied for some time, during the Revolution, by the Yorktown Com- mittee of Public Safety. Here that tribunal transacted business, disarmed the disaffected,a and punished the incorrigible. Here also a Convention of Congress assembled for the purpose of distri- buting commissions to those officers who were empowered to raise the militia.
For the destruction of this obnoxious post, Colonel Robertson obtained of the English governor, a special order and the com- mand of a regiment. From New York, he appears to have pro- ceeded by water to Peekskill, where he landed, swearing he would burn up the d-d committee house, and guided by a spy, named Caleb Morgan, marched to Crompond, where he burnt the parsonage, then used as a store house and arsenal.
Upon the departure of the British troops, the continental guard took possession of the church.
Episcopal services appear to have been occasionally performed in this village, as we find the Rev. Mr. Dibble in company with Mr. St. George Talbot, officiating here in 1762. The following year Mr. Dibble was succeeded by the Rev. Mr. Punderson of Rye.
The Congregational society in this town, was first formed during the ministry of the Rev. Silas Constant. The church which had before been Presbyterian, gradually assumed the Con- gregational form of government.
In 1787, Dr. Elias Cornelius and Mr. Benjamin Haight, were chosen deacons. In 1790, a part of the members withdrew by mutual consent, and formed a new church at Red Mills. About the year 1806, a division occurred in the church, when more than two thirds of her members adhered to Mr. Constant, and maintained the Congregational mode of worship, the remainder resumed the Presbyterian form.
a The Loyalists of Cortlandt's manor were disarmed by Zephaniah Platt and oth- ers, aided by 600 Connecticut troops, during the winter of 1776.
383
COUNTY OF WESTCHESTER.
In 1816, a number of members harmoniously left this society and formed a church at Peekskill.
From the time of Mr. Constant's death, to 1832, this church received stated supplies from the Rev. Daniel Jones and the late Rev. Griffeth H. Griffeth ; subsequently the Rev. William Albert Hyde was ordained pastor. The present minister is the Rev. J. B Loring. The Congregational church was incorporated by the name of " the First Congregational Church and Society at York- town." It is at present in connection with the Connecticut as- sociation, and numbers 70 communicants. Among other monu- ments in the grave yard, is the following :
In memory of the Rev. SILAS CONSTANT, who departed this life March 22, 1825, aged 75 years, 2 mo. and 7 days.
The Friends meeting house is situated at a short distance from the village of Crompond, and stands on land jointly given by John Clapp and Joseph Waters, in 1774.
The following is a brief abstract of the conveyance :
" Jolın Clapp of Greenwich, and Joseph Waters of Cortlandt manor, of the first part, convey to John Griffin, John Cromwell, John Cornell, Uriah Field and Thomas Clapp, of the second part, all that tract of land being in Amawalk, in Cortlandt manor, consisting of 2 acres lying and being in the north-east corner of great lot No. 4. Dated 12 day of October, 1774.

Directly opposite the Presbyterian church at Crompond, stands the residence of the late Alvan Purdy, Esq., who, during the revolutionary war, held a Lieutenancy in Capt. Heddy's Company of Militia, belonging to the regiment of Col. Samuel Drake. Alvan Purdy, was the son of Abraham Purdy, Esq., for many years a Lieutenant of Militia for the Manor of Cortlandt. This individual erected the present mansion, A. D. 1775. The Pur- dy's have long been possessed of estates in this town, and are lineally descended from the Purdys of Rye and White Plains. Of this family was Joseph Purdy, one of the proprietors of the White Plains and the Lame Will's purchase in Rye, A. D., 1678. The surviving sons of the late Lieut. Alvan Purdy, are Abraham, of Goshen county, James, post master of Yorktown, and Alvan, proprietor of the homestead.
In the vicinity of Crompond and bordering on King street is the residence of the Hon. Henry White one of the judges of the late Court of Common Pleas in this county. Judge White is the son of Ebenezer White, M. D., by his wife Helena Bartow, and grandson of the Rev. Ebenezer White of Southampton Long Island. Dr. White of Yorktown through the whole course of the Revolution sustained the character of a patriot, with that de- votion and firmness which characterised the many at that event- ful period of our history. It appears that the enemy made seve- ral unsuccessful attempts to capture this distinguished individual. On one occasion they were desirous of exchanging the doctor for a British surgeon then in the hands of the Americans. To effect his surprisal a large party of Light Horse were despatched to Crompond, with strict orders to surround his dwelling and make him prisoner. Some kind friend however, gave the doctor time- ly warning which enabled him to escape.

As a substitute they seized upon Dr. James Brewer, who resid- ed in the immediate neighborhood, and were proceeding home with their prisoner, when passing through Stoney street they were fired upon by a party of Americans, who lay concealed be- hind the fences. Dr. Brewer received a mortal wound and ex- pired the next morning, Nov. 20, 1780, in the arms of Dr. White who had thus narrowly escaped the melancholy fate of his friend. It deserves to be mentioned that he was the only one wounded of the party. Dr. Brewer who thus perished at the early age of thirty-nine, was a native of Massachusetts and left by his wife Hannah Brewer four sons and three daughters. His grandson is the present Dr. James Brewer of Peekskill.
Ebenezer White M. D., died 8th day of March, 1825, leaving issue beside Henry above mentioned, Bartow, Dr. Ebenezer of Somerstown (for many years surrogate of the county, and a mem- ber of assembly) Lewis of Peoria, James, 'Theodosius of Somers, and a daughter Catharine.
In King street is also situated the residence of Major Thomas Strang a soldier of the Revolution. Major Strang is the son of Capt. Henry Strang who was the grandson of the worthy Huguenot Daniel L'Estrange and Charlotte his wife. From the genealogical table in possession of the Strangs of Putnam, it appears that Dan- iel L'Estrange and Charlotte his wife, (daughter of Francis Hur- bert,) being protestants, fled from the city of Paris in the year of our Lord 1685, during the persecutions under Louis the XIV., and came to the city of London. He obtained a lieutenancy in the guards of James the 2d, King of Great Britain, and con- tinued there until the year 1688, when with his wife he embark- ed for America in company with a number of French Protestants and arrived at the city of New York. From thence he went to New Rochelle, and subsequently removed to Rye.a Daniel L'Es-

During the bitter persecution that preceded their flight the family Bible was concealed beneath the hearth stone.

HISTORY OF THE
trange who was born in the city of Paris A. D. 1656, died at Rye in this county A. D. 1705. His will bears date the same year. The late Major Joseph Strang, uncle of the present proprietor, greatly distinguished himself in the batteaux service during the old French war.
In the same street formerly resided Susannah de Lancey,a daughter of Etienne de Lancey Esq., and Anne Van Cortlandt his wife. Her house during the Revolution afforded an asylum for the persecuted, who found here a safe protection from their ene- mies.
Near the main road leading from Crompond to Somers is situ- ated the estate and residence of Robert Lee Esq., for many years one of the leading members of the bar in this county. Mr. Lee is the youngest son of John Lee of Yorktown, whose grandfather William Lee emigrated to this country in 1675, from Nottingham, England.
The village of Crompond and its immediate neighborhood ap- pears to have been greatly harrassed during the revolutionary trou- bles by frequent forays of the enemy. Before the morning of the 24th of June, 1779, (says General Heath, ) about 200 of the ene- my's light horse came up as far as Crompond, surprised two militia pickets, killed and took prisoners nearly 30 men. About 130 light infantry of the enemy at the same time, came out from Verplank's Point, made an excursion round and then returned.b Upon another occasion the Continental troops having stacked their arms in the church, then used as an Arsenal, were engaged at breakfast when the enemy made a sudden and furious onset, capturing and killing some and compelling others to seek safety in flight. Among the latter was Bot Lent who fled down King street closely pursued by two of the British light horse. After fol- lowing the road some distance Lent took to the woods, when his enemies gave up the pursuit. They had scarcely, however,

turned their backs, than he raised his rifle and fired at the near- est. The shot must have taken effect for his comrade was after- wards seen dragging him down the road covered with blood. Major Strang, who happened to be miserably mounted, was also pursued down the same street and narrowly escaped by jumping from his horse.
It seems from the following letter that timely notice was oc. casionally given of the enemy's approach.
Hanover, Saturday Morning, one o'clock.
SIR .- Captain Buckhout and Mr. Hunt are sent by Colonel Putnam to inform you that the light horse are to be in this place about day light. He is at Solomon Hunt's with his detachment ; any of the inhabitants who shall join him, will be gratefully re- ceived.
I am yours, Joseph Strang.
N. B. I am desired to let you know that it is expected you will acquaint your neighbors up the street and Mr. Carmans.
The subjoined account of this place is given by Thacher in his Military Journal.
"The advanced guard of our army, consisting of about two hundred men, is posted at Crompond, about twenty miles below West Point, and is relieved every two or three weeks. A surgeon constantly attends, and I am now ordered to repair to that post, to relieve Dr. Thomas."
" Crompond, March," 1781. " I have taken my quarters at Crompond, in a house with Major Trescott, who commands at this post. This vicinity is constantly harassed by small parties of volunteers on our side, and parties of royalists and tories on the other, who are making every effort to effect mutual destruction ; seeking every opportunity to beat up cach others quarters, and to kill or capture all who are found in arms. This is to be considered a very hazardous situation ; it requires the utmost vigilance to guard against a sur- prise. Major Trescott is an excellent disciplinarian, an active vigilant officer, and well acquainted with his duty. A party of volunteers collected here on horseback, for a secret expedition, and by their earnest reqnest, Major Tres- cott marched in the night with a party to cover their retreat, and to take any advantage which might offer. The party returned the next day with six tory prisoners, three of whom were wounded by the broad sword. One of our volunteers, named Hunt, received a dangerous wound through his shoulder and lungs ; the air escaped from the wound at every breath. Dr. Eustis came to the lines, and dilated the wound in the breast, and as the patient is

athletic and had not sustained a very copious loss of blood, he recommended repeated and liberal blood letting, observing that in order to cure a wound through the lungs, you must bleed your patient to death. He eventually re- covered, which is to be ascribed principally to the free use of the lancet, and such abstemious living, as to reduce him to the greatest extremity. A con- siderable number of wounded prisoners receive my daily attention.
" A gentleman volunteer, by name Requaw, received a dangerous wound and was carried into the British lines ; I was requested by his brother to visit him, under the sanction of a flag of truce, in company with Dr. White, who resides in this vicinity. This invitation I cheerfully accepted, and Mr. Re- quaw having obtained a flag from the proper authority and procured horses, we set off in the morning, arrived at Westchester before evening, and dressed the wounded man. We passed the night at Mrs. Bartow's, mother-in-law of Dr. W. She has remained at her farm between the lines during the war, and being friendly to our interest, has received much abusive treatment from the royalists. We were treated in the most friendly manner, and her daughter, an amiable well educated girl, entertained us in conversation till one o'clock in the morning, relating numerous occurrences and incidents of an interesting nature, respecting the royal party. The next day we visited our patient again, paid the necessary attention and repaired to a tavern, where I was gra- fied with an interview with the much famed Colonel De Lancey, who com- mands the Refugee Corps. He conducted with much civility, and having a public dinner prepared at the tavern, he invited us to dine with him and his oficers. After dinner, Colonel De Lancey furnished us with a permit to re- turn with our flag ; we rode ten miles, and took lodgings in a private house. Here we were informed that six of our men, having taken from the refugees thirty head of cattle, were overtaken by forty of De Lancey's corps and were all killed but one, and the cattle retaken. In the morning breakfasted with a friendly Quaker family, in whose house was one of our men who had been wounded, when four others were killed; we dressed his wounds, which were numerous and dangerous. In another house, we saw four dead bodies, man- gled in a most inhuman manner by the refugees, and among them, one groan- ing under five wounds on his head, two of them quite through the skull bone with a broadsword. This man was capable of giving us an account of the murder of his four companions. They surrendered and begged for life, but their entreaties were disregarded, and the swords of their cruel foes were plunged into their bodies so long as signs of life remained. We found many friends to our cause, who reside on their farms between the lines of the two armies, whose situation is truly deplorable, being continually exposed to the ravages of the tories, horse thieves, and cow boys, who rob and plunder them without mercy, and the personal abuse and punishments which they inflict is almost incredible."ª

Shrub Ouk is a small village, in the northern part of the town, containing a Methodist church, a post-office, and about fifteen dwellings. The Methodist society of this place was first incorporated upon the 22d of September, 1840; Newman Louns- berry, Benjamin Curry, Solomon Requa, Thomas Curry, jr., and Jonathan Danow, trustees."a The church, which was erected in 1839, is a very neat wooden structure. In the immediate neighborhood, lies Lake Magrigaries, (Hollow Lake, already alluded to,) which is a beautiful sheet of water, well stocked with fish.
A rich and picturesque vale extends sonth from Crompond, backed by rolling hills. Upon one of the principal heights in this vicinity, called French hill, the French forces were en- camped in 1781-2, under Comte de Rochambeau. " The French army, at the time the Marquis speaks of, (Nov. 1782, says the translator of Chastellux,) had been for some time encamped at Crompont, near Cortlandt's manor, a few miles from that of General Washington's, and between which there was a daily in- tercourse. The translator dined, in October, 1782, in General Washington's tent, with the Marquis de Laval, the Baron de Vio- menil, and several French officers, within hearing of the British guns, which were at that period happily become a brutum ful- men."b On the north-west side of French hill, are the two ponds styled by the Indians Keakatis. The largest of these, sometimes known by the name of the Great Pond, covers an area of 200 acres, and discharges its redundant waters into the smaller one of 100 acres. Both are supplied by numerous springs, and have their outlet it Muscoota river. The site of an Indian village is still pointed out, on the borders of the Great Pond, north of cedar swamp, likewise the remains of a cemetery on Cedar Point.c
Several roads intersect the town, running principally north
