FORT EDWARD VILLAGE.
This Village is located two and a half miles south from Sandy Hill, about eight miles from Fort Miller and six from Argyle Village The Fort from which the town derives its name was built in 1755, of earth and timber. The walls were 16 feet high and 22 feet thick ' and six cannon were mounted on the ramparts. It is situated about a quarter of a mile south of the Rail Road House, and was first called Fort Lyman, after a distinguished officer in the French War. This was the first carrying place, where troops, stores, &e., were landed previous to being taken to Wood Creek.
This Village is memorable as the scene of the murder of Miss Jane McCrea. Her body was taken to a spot near the Black House, three miles below the Fort, where it was buried. . About the year 1823 her remains were disinterred and removed to the Village Bu- rying Ground.
From the fact that the Court of Justice, which, as we have already stated, was established here long before the Revolutionary War, ex- tended its jurisdiction many miles on both sides of the river, we infer that the first white settlement in the County was made at this place.
140
TOWN OF FORT EDWARD.
This Village possesses more advantages than most of the other places in the County. About four years ago the citizens purchased from the State the Feeder dam, and so remodelled it as to make one of the best water powers in the County. Since then several commodious and substantial buildings have been erected for Manu- facturing purposes, and are partly occupied. The Rail Road and Canal afford the Manufacturers, Merchants and Farmers ready ac- cess to market. With all these advantages, and with well directed efforts on the part of the citizens, Fort Edward must eventually become a Village of considerable business importance.
The Post Office was established here in 1800. James Rogers was the first Post Master, John F. Gandal the second, James Mc- Intyre the third, Darwin B. Eldridge the fourth, John F. Gandal the fifth, Charles Harris the sixth, Timothy Stoughton the seventh. Mr. S. is the present P. M.
Among the first settlers on or near the site of the Village, were Messrs. Anderson, McCrea, Tierce, Baldwin, McIntyre, Crocker, Bell, Durkee and Gilchrist. The remains of Col. Cochran and Maj. Campbell, of Revolutionary times, are said to have been buried in the Village Grave-yard.

FORT MILLER.
This is a sinall Village situated about eight miles northerly from Union Village. Among its first settlers were Messrs. Payne, Bragg and Crocker. For a few years past the Village has presented a more enterprizing aspect than it formerly did. The unsettled con- dition of its water privileges was the main cause of its former lack of enterprize. Should the present dam be suffered to remain, Fort Miller will soon take a conspicuous position as a place of business and influence.
The Fort is located on the Saratoga side of the river.
This Village contains a Post Office, a Presbyterian Church, a Division of the Sons of Temperance, and several Stores, Hotels and Mechanics' Shops.
The Post Office was established here thirty years ago, or more, and Seneca C. Bragg was, we believe, the first Post Master. It was afterwards kept by L. S. Velic, then by John C. Velie, and again by L. S. Velic. In 1844 Leonard Vanderwerker was appointed. He afterwards resigned, and Isaac M. Guy, the present incumbent, received the appointment.

AN INCIDENT.
The Village of Fort Miller derives its name from the Fort, or military station erected some time previous to "the old French War," at the head of the Falls, on the opposite side of the river. Although history is silent in regard to this station, many of the older inhabitants remember that a garrison was continued there until, or near to, the comencement of the Revolution. Tradition makes this the scene of one of Gen. Putnam's acts of courageous, or rather. terrific daring. It seems he had left the Fort, and proceeded alone to the other side of the river, some distance below, and near where the Church now stands. He had just seated himself in his canoe to return to the Fort, when he suddenly discovered a number of In- dians who had silently crept to the bank of the river a few rods above him, having, as they supposed, completely cut off his return by placing themselves at a spot they knew he must pass to avoid being swept over the Falls, which was considered certain destrue- tion. Quick as thought Putnam rose to his feet, gave the savages an attentive look, as if counting their numbers, and then, with a powerful stroke of the paddle, wheeled his canoe, and with another, such as few men could give, sent it like "a thing of life" into the foaming current. The Indians astonished at this unexpected dis- play of daring intrepidity, with true magnanimity refused to fire up- on him, and stood immovable, watching the frail bark until it emerged from the cataract below in safety ; when, giving a tremen- dous whoop, they slowly retired to the forest.

REFORMED PROTESTANT DUTCH CHURCH AT FORT MILLER.
Previous to 1816 there was no house for public worship nearer to Fort Miller than Schuylerville on the South, and Sandy Hill on the' North. In that year the present Meeting House was erected by subscription-the site being a donation from the late Barent and John R. Bleeker. It was used as a free Church, and supplied by ministers of the several neighboring denominations until 1822, when, upon the petition of Hezekiah Hubbard, Noah Payn, Ashbel Meach- am, John Van Tuyl, John Bostwick, Lodewecus S. Viele, S. T. Shepherd, Darius Norcross, Garret Viele, Francis Gleason, Samuel Bennet, Simeon Odell, Nathaniel Burnham, Benjamin H. Payn and Jra Bragg, a Reformed Protestant Dutch Church was organized, and the following persons ordained Elder and Deacons : Lodewecus S. Vielie, Elder ; and Benjamin H. Payn and Nathaniel Burnham, Deacons.
The Ministers in connection with the Dutch Church, who have statedly preached here, are in order as follows :
Rev's Philip Duryea, Isaiah T. Johnson, Isaac A. Van Hook; Philip Duryea, Hugh Mair, D. R. Thomason, Joseph Parry, and Hi- ram Slawson.
The Ministers of other denominations who have statedly preached here, are Elder Washburn of the Methodist Episcopal Church, El- ders Swain and Webb of the Baptist Church, Rev. John Dunlap of the Associate Reformed Church, and Mr. James Stebbins, a licenti- ate of the Presbyterian Church.
Up to the present time, 188 members have been received into this Church.
FORT EDWARD VILLAGE BAPTIST CHURCH.
This Society was organized March 17th, 1842, at a meeting held at the School House in Fort Edward Village. The meeting was called to order by James Cheesman of Fort Edward or Durkeetown

TOWN OF FORT EDWARD.
Church. Benjamin F. Garfield, of West Greenwich Church, was appointed Moderator, and David W. Heath, of the same Church, Secretary.
The following names were enrolled : James Cheesman, Nelson Combs, Thomas Pike, George Mills, Lucinda Vandusen, Melissa Hall, Abigail Pike, Electa Shaw, Isabel Sanders, Clarissa Hender- son, Polly Sprague, Sally Pike, Emma Pike and Lucinda Bovee. James Cheesman was appointed the first Deacon and Clerk.
In April, 1842, this organized body was received by the Sandy Hill Baptist Church as a branch, at which time the Rev. Solomon Gale was employed as Pastor. He served until 1847, after which the pulpit was supplied by various Ministers.
On the 17th of January, 1848, this branch withdrew from Sandy Hill, and at a meeting held in Fort Edward Village, re-organized by the appointment of George Freeman as Moderator, and Simeon Mears as Clerk. At this meeting quite a number of new names were enrolled. Among them were Wm. C. Miller, John W. Miller, George W. Booth, Zina Tucker, Wm. H. Thompson, Elias Durkee and John McKie. From that period, Rev. George Freeman officiated as Pastor, preaching a portion of the time for this Church until May, 1849, when Elder Moore, of the Sandy Hill Church, com- menced preaching alternately for this and his own congregations. He served only six months, since which the Church has been tem- porarily supplied by Rev. Amos Stearns, of Kingsbury.
This body has, since its organization, had three revivals of reli- gion, during which 50 joined by baptism, and 30 by letter. The members now number about 70.
The present Deacons are George W. Booth, Otis Churchill, Sam- uel Stewart and Lemuel Harvey. In 1843 Morriil Grace was ap- pointed Clerk, and has officiated as such to the present time.
A Sabbath School and Bible Class have recently been commenced. which are very well attended, and promise much good.
This is not an incorporated Society ; but steps have been taken

to obtain a charter. It is in contemplation to build a Church edifice and settle a Minister the present year.
FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH IN FORT EDWARD.
This Church was organized in the month of April, 1832. From 1802 up to 1816 the members (in part, at least,) who composed this body, were considered members of the Baptist Church in Queensbu- ry, and by them were set off as a Branch, with liberty to meet and transact any Church business which might come before them. Previous to the organization of this Branch, the few families holding Baptist sentiments (with others,) in various parts of the Town, were favored with Baptist preaching occasionally, from Elders Clark and Bates. Elder Bates, being the Pastor of Queensbury Church, preached a portion of the time to this Branch. Meetings were held in barns and private dwellings during this period of time. A most precious revival was enjoyed, and many were added to this infant body.
For fourteen years this feeble band passed through trials and dis- couragements, partly for the want of means to erect a house of worship, (the country being new, and the first inhabitants generally poor,) and partly on account of their not being able (from the same cause,) to enjoy the stated means of grace but a small portion of the time. During that period this body had united with the Adamsville (then Hartford and Kingsbury) Church, being more convenient, and in IS16 was constituted a Branch of that Church.
Elder Calvin H. Swain, being Pastor of that Church, preached a portion of the time to this body for eighteen years. His labors were crowned with success among and with this people.
On the 4th of April, 1332, the Church was duly organized, and was recognized by an ecclesiastical council called the 1st of May following. Elder Calvin H. Swain continued to preach a share of the time to the Church, from April, 1832, to Sept., 1833.
Eider Norman Fox commenced his labors as their Pastor in Sept .. 1883, and continued until April, 1835.
147

Elder A. Wait supplied the Church from April, 1835, until April, 1837.
Elder Norman Fox, a portion of the time from April, 1837, to Sept. of the same year. Owing to ill health he was obliged to close his labors with the Church.
Elder H. M. Allen supplied the Church from Sept., 1837, to April, 1839.
Eld. H. H. Rouse from April, 1839, until April, 1840.

At the organization of the Church, April 4th, 1832, Benjamin Hopkins, Edward Fullerton and David Barber were appointed Deacons, and May 1st, 1832, were duly set apart, by ordination, by an Ecclesiastical Council, at the recognition of the Church. The above officers are either decceased or gone from this section.
In December, 1838, John Williams and George Mills were or- dained to fill the places of Benjamin Hopkins, who died Aug. 29, 1838, and David Barber, who had moved into Warren County, and they still act in that relation.
In March, 1849, Samuel B. Potter and Jonathan Pike were ap- pointed, and are now officiating.
The Meeting House is located three miles East of the North River, between the Villages of Fort Edward and Argyle, three and a half miles from the former, and two and a half from the latter. Owing principally to its back location from any place of public bu- siness, in a sparcely settled farming community, the Church has never, at any one time, been large. From its commencement to the present time there have been some hundreds of members con- nected with it. The Church has been a kind of a spiritual forward- ing house.
143
TOWN OF FORT EDWARD.
The number reported as now in connection is 130.
The Meeting House was erected in 1827.
THE PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF FORT EDWARD.
The parish of the Episcopal Church in this Village was legally organized in December, 1844, under the name of St. James Parish. It had for some time before been considered a part of Zion Church, Sandy Hill.
The Church services were held in the Methodist House of Wor- ship for several years previous to the organization of the parish, sud for four years afterwards.
In 1844 measures were taken to erect a Church edifice. The corner stone was laid in 1845, and in 1848, through the vigorous exertions of a few, the House was finally completed, and was con- secrated to the worship of Almighty God by the Right Rev. Bishop Delancey of the Western Diocese of this State.
The Church is located on the East side of the main street, upon an eligible site nearly in the centre of the Village.
It is built of brick, with stone door and window sills, and offsetts upon the buttresses.
The style is the pointed Gothic, and is well maintained through- out the whole building.
'The roof is open, showing the interior work, which is very beautiful.
There is a turret upon the west end of the nave, surmounted by a large cross.
The length of the Church, including the chancel, is 65 feet ; width, 30 feet ; height, to the apex roof, 40 feet.
The architect and superintendent was Robert McCoy, Esq., of Fort Edward Village. Cost of the Church, $3,500. The lot is valued at $600.

In 1820 Calvin Smith, of Kingsbury, was appointed, and also held the office at Sandy Hill. In 1821 Leonard Gibbs, of Granville, was appointed, and held the office until 1824, when Sam- uel Standish, jr., of North Granville, received the appointment.

In 1845 Luther Wait, of Kingsbury, was ap- pointed, and held the office in Sandy Hill until 1847. Up to this time the Surrogates were appointed by the Governor and Senate. Since then they have been elected by the people, and now receive salaries, instead of fees, for their services. This County pays & salary of $800 per year. In 1847 Joseph Boies, of Greenwich, was elected, and is still Surrogate. He holds the office at Union Vil- lage.
