The Methodist Episcopal Church at Vail's Gate is called in old records the "Union Church of New Windsor," a name which was probably intended to imply that it was a neighborhood church in which professors of every creed had a common interest. It was the outgrowth of what was known in 1789 as the John Ellison class. Ellison had formerly belonged to the Church of England, which at that time had no organization in the vicinity, and hence he was readily led to give encouragement to the substitute which the
Mr. Wallace was born at Little Britain, Dec. 20, 1828. His earlier education was conducted by his father, and after careful preparatory training he en- Methodist Episcopal Church offered, embracing, as

branch. In 1791, Mr. Ellison erected a building near his residence at Mortonville, the first story of which he occupied as a store, and the second he fitted up as a hall for religious services. While itin- erant preachers of all denominations were permitted to occupy this hall, it was specially reserved for those of the Methodist Church, from which it became known as the Methodist Church. It was occupied by the Union Church until 1807, when the present building, which has been somewhat modernized since its erec- tion, was constructed, and now forms the oldest church edifice of the denomination on the west bank of Hud- son's River. In 1809 it was made the head of the New Windsor circuit, with Rev. Thomas Woolsey and James Coleman preachers. At the quarterly confer- ence of that year, held in the new Union church, then the only one in the circuit, Andrew Cunningham and Benjamin Westlake appeared as local preachers, and Henry Still, James Benjamin, Thomas Collard, and Jonathan Stephens as exhorters. The circuit em- braced New Windsor, Sugar Loaf, Smith's Clove, Lower Clove, Oxford, Warwick, Amity, Butter Hill, Ketchumtown, Pochuck, Newfoundland, Deerpark, New Shawangunk (Bethel), Hamburgh, Bellvale, Vernon, and Cornwall. This circuit, which will be recognized as covering a wide district of country, was subsequently divided and subdivided until it has finally substantially disappeared, the society at Moun- tainville only now being included with it. The first trustees of the church were elected April 6, 1804, and ! were Daniel Holmes and Samuel Fowler, of New- burgh, and Jabish Atwater (Atwood ?), Samnel Du- sinberre, and Henry Still, of New Windsor. The following list of circuit preachers from 1810* to 1880 has been furnished by the present pastor, Rev. N. S. Tuthill :
1810, Samnel Fowler, Samuel Bushnell ; 1811, John Keline, Hawley Sanford ; 1812, John Keline, James Edwards, Stephen Jacob; 1813, Nathan Emory, Ezekiel Canfield ; 1814, Luman Andrews, Bela Smith; 1815, Załmon Lyon, Bela Smith ; 1816, Zalmon Lyon, James Kline; 1817-18, J.

LITTLE BRITAIN METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
Information solicited in regard to the history of this church has not been furnished. The records of the trustees (which we have been permitted to examine through the kindness of William R. Weed, Esq.) begin July 26, 1853, at which time the erection of a church edifice, thirty-four feet front by forty-four feet deep, was under contract with Harvey Alexan- der, and appears to have been completed and occu- pied in the fall of 1854. The church is near Jackson Avenue, aud has a burial-ground attached. It is now in a circuit with Gardnertown.
BURIAL-GROUNDS.
In addition to the New Windsor Presbyterian Church burial-grounds, elsewhere noticed, there is one attached to the Vail's Gate Methodist Episcopal Church, one attached to the Little Britain Church, and one known as the " Mullinder Graveyard," west of the last named. There are quite a number of family burial-plots, including those known as the Clinton and the McClaughry, and nearly all of them are in a wretched condition. Woodlawn Cemetery, under the charge of an association organized under the State law, is being rapidly improved. The re- mains of many persons have been removed to it from other grounds both in Newburgh and New Windsor, and many respectable monuments have been erected.
