Other early physicians were Dr. Davis, born in 1795, in this town, and who died in 1851 ; Dr. Benjamin Adams, who was born about 1734, and who was an army surgeon during the Revolutionary war ;* Dr. Benjamin S. Wilber, who practiced here from 1836 to about 1870, and who died June 26, 1871 ; Dr. Cornelius Allerton [or Alliston],

before and contemporaneous with Dr. Wilber ; Dr. Bartlett, who practiced here somewhere about 1850 or 1851 ; Dr. Peter S. Cole, who practiced from 1844 to 1868, and died at Jackson's Corners No- vember 4, 1870; Dr. Cornelius Allerton, Jr., who practiced here some ten years, went to New York, and died in January, 1867.

The present resident physicians are Dr. Henry Clay Wilber, a native of the town, born in 1845 ; graduated from Bellevue Hospital Medical College in 1867.

Dr. George S. Beckwith, a native of Litchfield, Conn., born in 1841 ; graduated from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of New York City in 1866, and came from Saratoga to Pine Plains in 1878.

Dr. Charles Edwin Cole, a native of the town, born January 29, 1850 ; graduated from the Med- ical College of Bellevue Hospital in 1872, and began his practice in the town in 1876.

Dr. Egbert D. Seaman, a native of Pleasant Valley, born in 1846; studied dentistry with Dr. James E. Miller, the oldest dentist of Brooklyn, and one of the most eminent Quaker preachers of that city, and came to Pine Plains in March, 1879.

LAWYERS .- Of the early legal men, Stephen Eno was a quite celebrated lawyer of the town and county, who practiced here some fifty years ago. His office was in the building now occupied as a law office by his grandson, Frank Eno. Stephen Eno was born in Simsbury, Conn., October 4, 1764. He died August 1, 1854, in the 90th year of his age. His son, William Eno, was also a prominent member of the Duchess County bar for forty years, and had an extensive practice. He was a member of the Legislature in 1836, and District Attorney for Duchess County two terms, at a time when the office was filled by appointment by the Justices of the Supreme Court. He was born in Pine Plains April 21, 1800, and died No- vember 17, 1874. Two of his sons, William Stewart Eno and Frank Eno, are now practicing lawyers in Pine Plains. The former was admitted to the bar in 1850, and practices principally in the higher courts. Frank Eno, born in Pine Plains in 1845, was admitted to practice in May, 1868. The only other resident lawyer is George G. Titus, who studied law with Charles Wheaton, of Pough- keepsie, County Judge, and was admitted to the bar in 1864. He came to Pine Plains in 1879.

CHURCHES .- The village contains four churches, the Methodist, Presbyterian, Baptist and Episco- palian.

TOWN OF PINE PLAINS.

The class nucleus of the present Methodist Church was organized by the Rev. Freeborn Gar- retson, according to the tradition of the oldest Methodists here, about 1798. There were at first but three members. One of these was Ira Winans, the others are not known. Soon afterward others were added, so that about 1805 the following per- sons are remembered as the earliest Methodists in this locality :- Ira Winans, Mrs. Tommy Mead Smith, wife of Isaac Smith-the father of Reuben and Silas Smith-Ann Landon, wife of Edward Thomas, the father of Richard Thomas, one of the founders of the present church, Josiah Finch, Lizzie Finch, Walter Mead and Elizabeth Winans, his wife, Philip Rowe and Elijah his son, David Dabol and wife, and John Harris* and his wife Mary Gambie. Probably there were others, either members, or at least in sympathy with this denomination.

In 1805, Walter Mead, one of the earliest mem- bers of this society, purchased the lot in Pine Plains village where Mrs. Elizabeth Bostwick now resides. He was a cabinet-maker, and on this lot was his shop in which Methodist meetings were held. Meetings were also held at other places out- side the village. At John Harris', then living near the present William Carman saw mill, it is said seats were made from slabs to accommodate the hearers when there was preaching at that place. Daniel Dabol, a plow maker, living at the outlet of Halcyon lake, had meetings in his shop, which stood to the right in crossing the outlet from the main road. About 1814, in a grove a few rods west of this shop, the Rev. Fitch Reed, then about twenty-one, preached a sermon. There was also preaching at the house of " Tise Hoffman," where Mr. Ten Eyck now lives. Here about 1805, Miss Sarah Wilber, now the oldest living membert in connection with the present church, and her brother Theron, were baptized by Rev. John Culver, a minister then well known in Northern Duchess. Methodist meetings were also held in a church building then standing four miles south of the village, near Sackett's Corners. Rev. John Culver preached here also, and quarterly meetings were held there. Peter Powers and "Tommy " Ingra- ham, from Amenia, exhorted here between times. From 1816 to about 1835 there was not much change in temporal matters nor great addition in numbers. In that year Dr. Benjamin S. Wilber moved from the town of Washington, Duchess

County, to Pine Plains. He was an intelligent, zealous Methodist, and a successful physician. With his wife and children, came also, as a part of his family, his father and mother and one sister, Matilda,-an acquisition of five to the Methodist Society. At this date, 1835, Pine Plains and Copake were in one circuit, and the preachers were D. B. Ostrander and W. Lull. At Pine Plains there were now but eight members. These were Richard Thomas, his wife Harriet Mead Thomas, his mother Ann Landon, widow of Edward Thomas, John Peter Keeler and wife, Tommy Mead, Electus B. Chamberlin, and Mrs. Maria P. Harris, wife of Col. Silas Harris. Thus the real work for the Methodist Episcopal Society and church building at Pine Plains commenced in 1835, with thirteen members, including the five in the family of Dr. Wilber, before mentioned.

On the 16th of February, 1837, the contract for building a church was signed. The edifice was completed and dedicated in the fall of that year. The site was purchased from Dr. Cornelius Alliston, and Richard Thomas broke the ground for the foundation. In 1871 the church edifice was re- paired and enlarged by an addition to the front, on which a fine steeple was erected, and a small addition on the rear. The original frame was not changed. An excellent pipe organ was also placed in the choir gallery, and the result of the repairs then made is the present neat edifice and its fur- nishings. The church was re-dedicated November 15. 1871, by Rev. Dr. Ridgeway, of New York, and Rev. J. B. Wakely, D. D. The following ministers have presided over this church since 1835 :-

The nucleus of the Presbyterian Society began about 1816. In 1815 a movement was made toward the erection of a church edifice. It was to be 34 by 50 feet. Henry Hoffman, Israel Harris, Col. Silas Harris, Fyler Dibblee, Isaiah Dibble, Isaac Huntling, William Woodin, Aaron E. Win- chell, Walker Bostwick, Joshua Culver, Wilhelmus Pulver and William Tanner were among the lead- ing and active men, representing in belief Luther- ans, Dutch Reformed, Presbyterians, Episcopalians, Baptists and Universalists.

The building was completed in nine months, and was called a "Union House." Since then the Lutherans have built a church about six miles north of Pine Plains, the Dutch Reformed have become Presbyterians or Lutheran, the Baptists and Episcopalians have each a church in this village, and the Universalists go where they please or not to either of them. The "Union Church " has, therefore, become virtually Presbyterian, which will explain the irregularity and denominational supply in the following account of this church .* Among those who preached here prior to 1816, were Revs. Clarke, Hyde and Price. Soon after the erection of the church building, the stated services of Rev. Mr. Blair, a Presbyterian minister, were enjoyed for about six months. Soon after he left, the Rev. Mr. Gale, also a Presbyterian, supplied the pulpit for a time. About the year 1817, Rev. Mr. Anthron, an Episcopalian, residing at the time in Red Hook, supplied the pulpit one-fourth of the time for about two years. In the spring of 1819 Rev. R. G. Armstrong, a Presbyterian, labored as stated sup- ply for three years. About the year 1826, Rev. Mr. Grear, also a Presbyterian, labored for a short time, and there were occasional supplies from the Pres- bytery and the Dutch Classis. The after supplies were as follows : The Rev. Mr. Morgan, Universalist, six months, about 1829 or '30 ; Rev. Mr. Kettle, of the Reformed Dutch Church, a portion of the time for some two years, about 1830; Rev. Mr. Beech, Episcopalian, one-fourth of the time for one year, about 1832 ; Rev. Dr. Wackerhagen, a Luther- an, one Sabbath in the month during the summer, continuing his labors for several years, about 1833.

On September 1, 1833, Rev. William N. Sayre, of the North River Presbytery, the present pastor, began his labors in the congregation. There was here then no regular church organization other than a few members constituting a Methodist class. Religion was in a low state, and very little was contributed for the support of the gospel. In the spring of 1834, a Presbyterian church was organ- ized, consisting of seven members only two of the seven being male members. Eight more were added in 1834, six in 1835, and fifteen in 1836. From 1837 to 1839, fifty more were added to the membership.

Mr. Sayre has been pastor over this church forty- eight years.

During the years from 1833 to 1873, Mr. Sayre baptized one hundred adults and forty-three infants ; officiated at three hundred and twelve weddings, and six hundred and sixty-seven funerals.

The Baptist Church had its virtual organization in 1835. It is recorded that at least two Baptist members resided in this vicinity as early as 1810. About 1815 they were in sufficient numbers to join with those of other denominations in the erection of the "Union Church," before mentioned, in which, by special permission, they held services one Sabbath afternoon in each month. Elder John Buttolph, pastor of the Baptist Church, North East,* was their preacher at this time, and in 1818 he began more connected labors, which were continued about two years. Elder Luman Burtch, pastor of the Baptist Church in Stanford, was afterwards en- gaged, and continued his services a number of years. On the 7th of June, 1835, at a special meeting at the meeting house in Stanford, there were approved and baptized in the stream near Cornelius Husted's, the following persons :- Cor- nelius Husted, Alfred Brush, Milton Smith, Frederick Couch and wife, Henry Gillum, Caroline Thomp- son, Salvina Boothe.

On the 18th of July, 1835, at the house of Cor- nelius Husted, was held the first Baptist Church meeting in the town of Pine Plains, Elder Burtch presiding.

Peter W. Husted, Julia Husted, Julia Ann Woolsey, Aaron E. Winchell and Lydia L., his wife, Charlotte Conklin and Leonard Boothe, were accepted as members of the church, and were bap- tized by Elder Burtch the first Sabbath in August, 1835.

On account of the opposition against the Bap- tists at this time they were debarred the use of the

meeting house and school house, and their meet- ings were now held in private dwellings.

On the 4th of April, 1836, the Baptist Society was incorporated, and the act was recorded in the County Clerk's office on the 28th of June. Cor- nelius Husted, Charles Couch, Justus Booth, Niles Hartwell, Alfred Brush and Aaron E. Winchell were the first trustees. In 1836 they began the construction of a house of worship. They pur- chased a lot for $600, and a contract was made with a carpenter to build a house 34 by 50 feet, with basement and tower, to cost from $1,000 to $1,200. The house was to be completed by July 1, 1837. The work was begun and the building was nearly finished when, on the 3d of June, 1837, about 6 P. M., a fearful tornado passed through the town,* most destructive in its effects, and the Baptist Church was leveled with the ground. Dis- couraged, but not disheartened, they began again, and through the aid of Elder Burtch, who came to their assistance, and in connection with the neigh- boring ministers and churches, who encouraged them to proceed, another edifice was erected in eleven months from the time of the catastrophe. It was dedicated May 7, 1838, by the celebrated Elder John Leland, then in the 84th year of his age. Elder Burtch continued to have the oversight of the Baptist interests in Pine Plains, and occasion- ally preached for the Friends there, as did also El- der T. Winter of North East, and Elder A. Smith of the Second Dover Church.

In 1838 Rev. George Kempton, then a student at Hamilton, and afterward a pastor in North East, ministered here from August 18th to October. In April, 1839, a call was extended to Elder Nathan D. Benedict, of Woodstock, Conn., which was ac- cepted, and he began his labors here in that month. Up to this time the Pine Plains Church had been a branch of the Stanford Church. It was now deemed best to form themselves into an independ- ent Baptist Church. According to notice previ- ously given, the Baptist members living in and around Pine Plains met in their house of worship May 8, 1839, where they voted to embody them- selves into a regular Baptist Church, to be called the " Baptist Church of Pine Plains."

The constituent members numbered twenty-six, as follows : Rev. N. D. Benedict, Polly Ann Bene- dict, Mary Ann Benedict, from Woodstock, Conn., Cornelius Husted, Peter W. Husted, Julia Rey- nolds, Julia A. Woolsey, Aaron E. Winchell, Lydia

L. Winchell, Caroline Thompson, Mary Thomp- son, Smith B. Couch, Amy G. Couch, Charles Couch, Frederick Couch, Margaret Couch, Alfred Brush, Sophia Brush,* W. H. Conklin, Elizabeth Conklin, Leonard Boothe and Salvina Best, by letter from Stanford ; Niles Hartwell, Mary Hart- well, Mary McLane, and Phebe Husted by letter from North East.

The church was duly recognized by the council invited, May 30, 1839. June 8, 1839; Alfred Brush f and Charles Couch were elected deacons, and Aaron E. Winchell,¿ church clerk. The church was received into the Duchess Association October 2, 1839. Elder Benedict continued his services with the church until April, 1843.

The next pastor was Elder J. B. Breed, from Rahway. N. J., who began his labors the last Sab- bath in May, 1843. He resigned his charge in April, 1849, but returned in March, 1850, and re- mained until October 1, 1851. He served thie church seven years, during which time some thirty- one were added to the membership by baptism. From October, 1851 to May, 1853, the church was without a settled pastor, and much of the time without regular preaching. Rev. S. B. Willis, of Maryland, Otsego county, N. Y., became the next pastor, May 1, 1853, and remained until April, 1855. The church was then without a pastor a year and one-half. A portion of this time services were rendered by E. Weed and Elder Lucas, pas- tor of the Stanford church, who in May, 1856, bap- tized six into the membership of the church. Rev. John Reynolds became the next settled pastor De- cember 7th, 1856. His pastorate extended over a period of seventeen years, with the exception of one year, when, feeling discouraged, he resigned to accept a call from the Port Byron Baptist Church. In a little over a year he returned to Pine Plains, and remained with this church until his death, May 14, 1873, in the 79th year of his age.

In 1870 the church repaired and improved the house of worship, at an expense of some $3,500. In 1874, the trustees, by a vote of the church, sold the parsonage and lot, to build another parsonage, and with the surplus pay off the church debt. There was but little preaching from the time of Mr. Reynold's death until March 4th, 1874. when Rev. S. L. Holman became the pastor, and re- mained in charge some fifteen months. He was succeeded by Rev. Everett D. Stearns, who re- mained a year and a half, when he left to become

pastor of the Baptist church in Conway, Mass., where he died in May, 1880, in the twenty-ninth year of his age. The next pastor was J. B. Nairn, then a student in Madison University, who sup- plied the pulpit from June 1, 1878, to September of that year. His successor was Rev. E. D. Craft, who began his labors October 6, 1878. He re- mained one year and then moved to Kansas. The present incumbent, the Rev. Joseph Burnett, en- tered upon his duties with the church March I, 1880. The membership of the church is about sixty.

The church officers are : Pastor, Joseph Burnett ; Deacons, W. W. Husted, J. Massey ; Church Clerk, W. W. Husted; Superintendent of Sunday School, J. Massey.

The Society of the Church of the Regeneration was formally organized November 14, 1859. On a previous Sunday, November 6, the following public notice had been given :-

James Starr Clark, of Madalin, laid the stone. Rev. Samuel Buel, of Christ Church, Poughkeepsie, delivered the sermon. Rev. Frederic Sill, together with others of the clergy, took part in the services.

Rev. Frederic Sill was the first rector to hold services in this locality, at the Bethel, his first ser. vice being held on the first Sunday in Advent, 1857. Rev. Samuel K. Miller officiated from August 1, 1859, to the spring of 1860. After which, and before the Rev. Mr. Pattison came, the services were conducted by Rev. William A. Leach, of Copake, two Sundays, the Rev. James Starr Clark, of Madalin, one Sunday.

Rev. Eugene C. Pattison came June 6, 1860. His first service was on the first Sunday after Trinity, June 10, 1860. He remained until April, 1863. Thereafter for some months services were con- ducted by different rectors, and in that year a call was extended to Rev. Mr. Kenney, who came and stayed a short time. The next rector was Rev. J. H. Nimmo. The church is now (1881) without a pastor. The membership is small, and no regular services are held.

A few miles from the village is the Christian Church of Pine Plains. This church was organized November 7, 1858, at a special meeting held at the house of Stephen Tomkins. The constituent members were Stephen Tomkins, Benjamin Wil- ber, Ury Hicks and others, who, by Elder Philetus Roberts and R. B. Eldridge, were duly organized a Christian Church. The following were elected officers of the church: Deacons, Benjamin Wilber. Stephen Tomkins ; Trustees, Jeptha S. Wilber, Samuel O. Hicks, Stephen Tomkins; Clerk, Ben- jamin Wilber.
