1Another version of this affair was told by a man named Dykman to Mr. Richard D. Arden. He stated that at the time of Arnold's departure he was working in a barn, which stood on the premises. Looking out, he saw Arnold, with his saddle bags in his hand, walking down the path, much more rapidly than usual. This account seems to be generally believed in the neighborhood.

own explanation. Hamilton was at once directed to ride as rapidly as possible to Ver Planck's Point, in hopes that he might arrive in time to intercept the fugitive. Vain hope! Several hours of time had placed him beyond reach, and he had escaped from all but his own guilty conscience.
A letter was at once dispatched to Colonel Jameson, at Lower Salem, directing him to send André to Robinson's house, under a strong guard. The messenger reached his destination at mid- night, and a guard under Major Talmadge set off with the prisoner, immediately. They arrived, after riding all night, and André was sent with his guard to Stony Point, and from thence to Tappan, where his trial and execution took place.
Beverly honse remains as nearly as possible in the same con- dition as when in possession of its original owners. The prin- cipal apartment, in the central portion of the house, is the room where the party were at breakfast when Jameson's messenger arrived. The identical table at which they sat is now in pos- session of Mr. William D. Garrison, the proprietor of the Grand Union Hotel, in New York.
The north chamber, in the eastern portion of the house, is the room where Arnold announced to his wife the news that they must part. This room, like the former, is preserved in its original condition. On the panel work of Mrs. Arnold's bed- room is carved, "G. Wallis Lieut. VI. Mass. Regt." Origi- nally the driveway that led from Beverly Lane to the mansion was on the north side of the house, but this has been changed to the south side in modern times. An ancient cherry tree, which seems old enongh to have borne fruit in the days of the Revolution, stands near by, while on the north side is a clump of box which may be equally aged.
"Arnold's path " began on the west side of the lane, near the ontbuildings, and on the north side of the stone wall which is now the boundary of the land of Mrs. Underhill. Here was originally a rail fence with a wicket gate. The path led down the hill and on the south side of the rocky elevation, and crossed " Beverly brook " about thirty feet north of the place where a very small stream of water runs into it. From this place it crosses a marshy piece of ground, some stones and logs afford- ing a solid footing for the traveller. "Beverly Dock," still in use, is at the south end of the railroad cut that runs through the hill which overlooks the spot.

Upon the homestead farm stands " Ardenia," the seat of Col. Thomas B. Arden, and the home of his father, the former owner of Beverly estate. For quiet and unobtrusive beauty, it is excelled by few places on the banks of the Hudson, and to its respected owner the writer is indebted for many courtesies and much valuable information.
GARRISON's .- This place was originally known as Nelson's Landing, from Caleb Nelson, who was living in the vicinity previous to the Revolution. The land in this vicinity was un- doubtedly included in the sale of the west part of Lot 1, to William Denning, and a tract in the northwest corner of the lot is supposed to have been sold to the Nelsons by him. On the 30th of April, 1803, Cornelius Nelson sold to Harry Garrison 125 acres of land "exclusive of the three acres allowed for the use of the church." This land is described as "being in Water Lot No. 1, and beginning at the North- West corner of said Lot, and thence running S. 67 degrees East along the Water lot north line 49 chains 57 links to a public road." It ran south along the road to the south line which touched the river at a point a little below the railroad station. The house where Cornelius Nel- son lived (now owned by Richard Upjohn) is about one-fourth of a mile north of Ardenia and on the corner of the road to the depot. Washington is said to have stopped here at times during the Revolution, as it was then the nearest house to the landing. After the death of Harry Garrison the whole of the tract which he bought of Cornelius Nelson, excepting a few small pieces near the river, was sold to Henry W. Belcher. He sold the northwest part of it to Frederick Philipse and it is now held by his heirs. The remainder was sold to William S. Liv- ingston.
Nelson's Landing was in early times the rendezvous for sloop and boatmen, and the productions of the farms of Canopus Hollow were brought to this landing for shipment. In more modern times the beauty of the scenery has attracted many gentlemen from New York to this romantic region, and elegant country seats have taken the place of the plainly built dwel- lings of the early residents.
At the northeast corner of Lot 1, of the Philipse Patent, is situated the old Hopper farm, now the property of John Travis. Richard Hopper, the original occupant, was a tenant under

Beverly Robinson before the Revolution. The farm, which was bounded north by the north line of the Lot No. 1, and east by the east line of the same lot, which separates it from Beverly Robinson's Long Lot No. 4, contained more than 200 acres and after the Revolution was sold by the commissioners of for- feiture, with several thousand acres adjoining, to William Den- ning. William Denning sold the farm to Richard Hopper November 2d, 1786, and he gave it to his son Edward, who died in 1850, leaving it to his children, Effie Griffin, Richard, Na- thaniel, Michael and Samuel Hopper. The greater part of the old farm now belongs to John Travis, who married Effie, daughter of Richard Hopper, the grandson of the original owner. The old house stood where the residence of Mr. Travis now stands, and here the first Methodist meetings were held in this part of the town. Richard Hopper was a local preacher, and his house thus became the headquarters of the members of that denomination. The north line of Lot 1 separates this farm from the land of Rebecca Pierce on both sides of the old post road, and farther east of it is the boundary between Mr. Travis and Henry Post. The east line of the lot is the boundary between Mr. Travis and Henry Post, whose house stands on or very near the town line, and about 60 rods north of the corner of the two lots.
SOUTH HIGHLAND METHODIST CHURCH .- The first meetings of this denomination were held in the house of Richard Hop- per, 2d, and he was the first local preacher. David Jaycox was a class leader, and Nathaniel and Michael Hopper were active members. The first church was built in 1829, on land purchased from Harry Garrison and a portion of a large tract sold to him by William Denning. The society was incorpo- rated August 29th, 1829, at a meeting held in the house of Richard Hopper, at which time Richard Garrison, David Reed and David Jaycox were chosen trustees, the title of the or- ganization being " the Second M. E. Church and Congregation of Philipstown." In 1862 the present church was built, and the old one was moved to a piece of land bought of Sylvester Haight and used as a parsonage. In the burying ground at- tached to this church rest many of the well-known men of a former generation. A few dates from the tombstones are: Abram Bennett, died Oct. 25th, 1870, aged 91; Eunice, wife, Jan.

Among those who have been foremost in promoting the in- terests of this church should be mentioned Allen G. Newman, Esq., of New York.
HOPPER MINE .- On the southwest side of the old post road is a small portion of the old Hopper farm, situated at the place where the road crosses the top of Canopus Hill. This has always been known as the " Mine lot " and the " Hopper Mine " is located on it. Iron ore was taken from this mine by Richard Hopper about 1820. He gave the land to his son, Nathaniel, but reserved the mine and mineral right, which fell to his chil- dren. Two-fifths of this right were afterward sold to John Travis by Michael and Richard Hopper in 1853. Nathaniel Hopper left his right to Edward, Samuel, Lorella and Nathaniel Hopper, by will, in 1873. The share of Effie Griffin descended to her children, and of these Allen Griffin and Catharine Le Compte sold their right to Caspar D. Schulraith, while Emily Foshay sold her share to Ferris Chapman April 5th, 1880.
Upon this title Ferris Chapman began a suit in partition against the rest of the owners under the right descending from Richard Hopper. When the case came to trial the heirs of Frederick Philipse presented their claim and demanded to be considered as defendants upon the following grounds :
When the Philipse Patent was divided, in 1754, in each of the partition deeds the mines and minerals were reserved, con- sequently they remained undivided property. The confiscation

laws only affected the rights which belonged to Beverly Robin- son and Roger Morris and their wives, and did not affect the right of Philip Philipse, which descended to his children. In consequence the deed from the commissioners of forfeiture to William Denning, and the deed from him to Richard Hopper, could only convey the right to the minerals, which became the property of the State by the confiscation of the lands of Rob- inson and Morris. The case was referred to Hon. William Wood who, in his report as referee, sustained the claims of the Philipse family. This was duly confirmed by the court and no appeal was ever taken. This mine and the suit connected with it are an important point in legal history as establishing the right of the descendants of Philip Philipse to one third of the minerals throughout the entire county.
CONTINENTAL VILLAGE .- The entrance to the Highlands was a point of great military importance during the Revolution, and on the banks of Canopus Creek, in the southeast corner of the town, extensive barracks were constructed by the American Army in 1777, which would accommodate 2,000 men. A large number of cattle and a great amount of military stores were col- lected there, and were under the charge of Major Campbell. Redoubts were built for the purpose of commanding the road and protecting public property. On the 9th of October, 1777, and three days after the capture of Forts Clinton and Mont- gomery, Gen. Tryon was sent with a body of troops to destroy the settlement. The expedition was successful, and the village, with all the stores, was completely destroyed. The inhabitants Hled to the hills and the American troops retired to Fishkill, leaving this part of the valley a scene of desolation. Shortly afterward Gen. Parsons marched down from Fishkill with 2,000 men and took possession of Peekskill. No other events of im- portance occurred here during the Revolution. It was again occupied as a place for collecting stores for the army, and the barracks were to some extent rebuilt. It was from this place that the following letter was sent to Matthew Patterson :
"Continental Village, Sept. 27th, 1781.

cure some forage as soon as you conveniently can. You will not only promote the common cause, but very much oblige Gen. Heath & every officer in the army whose horses are almost starving for want of short forage, the country being eaten up here about. We have had no forage but some long forage which was brought from below Croton some distance, which was got by the army when at the white plains, and that not very good. I therefore at the General's request Sir, desire you to procure us some short forage as soon as possible and to order some pasture to be assessed as near the S. W. part of your Precinct as possible for the use of the fat cattle, they be- ing too great an object for the enemy to be trusted near Croton river. Tis well known there is good and plenty of it there- abouts. You will please Sir to transmit to me as soon as you conveniently can, an account of the several assessments that I may give orders for their being occupied. Col. Hughes tells me he has ordered his clerk to supply you with a copy of the Act, which he tells is continued till the end of the war. Your compliance Sir, will not only be of the greatest public utility, but will establish & confirm the good opinion the General en . tertains of you.
"I am with all due respect Sir "Your very humble Servant "W. KEEFE, "D. C. of Forage.

HIGHLAND CHEMICAL WORKS .- The original of this organi- zation was the "Hudson River Copper Company," which was established in 1863, and William H. Denning leased to Seth Allen the use of 300 acres of land " on the west side of the road to Peekskill and north of Westchester line, for getting miner- als of all kinds." This lease, which was for ten years, he as- signed to the Hudson River Copper Company, and this com- pany by William Kenney, president, transferred it to Archibald Gracie King, December 23d, 1872. Marinus Willet, Frederick K. Jones, and George Winthrop Thorne organized the "High- land Chemical and Mining Company" for the "manufacture and sale of Sulphuric, Nitric, Muriatic and other acids, Super- phosphates and other chemical substances," in 1872. The premises occupied and where the buildings are erected, are on

the bank of the Hudson River, close to the southwest corner of Putnam county. They included Lots 3 and 4 of the lands of William Denning, as laid down on the map of Jacob Lent, and Marinus Willet and his companions conveyed to the company "a piece of land, marsh and islands," January 3d, 1873.
This company at first made use of sulphur obtained from iron pyrites procured from mines on Anthony's Nose, the right to get which was hired from Catharine and Pierre Van Cortlandt March 23d, 1868. Of late years this has been discontinued, and the sulphur now used is imported from Italy. The buildings of this company present a very conspicuous appearance on the shores of the river, and the works give employment to a large number of hands.
ST. PHILIP'S CHURCH IN THE HIGHLANDS .- This church was originally a chapel, and was united with St. Peter's Church at Peekskill, the history of which has been written with care- ful minuteness by the lamented historian, Bolton. The first charter of this church was granted August 18th, 1770, and the first trustees were Beverly Robinson, Charles Moore, Jeremiah Drake, Caleb Ward, Joshua Nelson, Thomas Davenport and Henry Purdy. The church edifice, which is still standing, a venerated relic of the past, was built about two miles north of Peekskill, on a lot given for that purpose by Andrew Johnston, March 23d, 1770. The church itself is said to have been built in 1766 "by certain subscriptions both in Cortlandt Manor and the lower end of Pilipse Upper Patent," and it was dedicated by Rev. John Ogilvie, D. D., August 9th, 1767. A letter to the "Venerable Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts," October 5th, 1770, states: " We could not have gone through with our undertaking but for entering into an agreement with the people on the lower end of Philipse Patent, that if they would join with us in the building of St. Peter's Church, and in the subscription for the support of the min- istry, that when we obtained a missionary he should be settled for both places, so as to make but one congregation of the whole: To preach every other Sunday at the house of Jacob Mandeville." "We can assure the venerable Society that from the generous offer of Mr. Beverly Robinson, we have the hopes of having a very good glebe provided within the year."
Another letter states, " that being well satisfied of the char-
541

acter and ability of Mr. John Doty, a Gentleman educated at King's College, they have unanimously given him a call, to re- main here as their minister for the St. Peter's Church, and also for the neighborhood of Jacob Mandeville, in the lower end of Philipse Patent, where it is intended to build another church, to be united as one congregation, and they have cheerfully sub- scribed to the amount of £61 15s. towards his support."
Rev. John Doty, who thus became the first rector, was the son of Joseph Doty, and was born in New York, about 1750. He entered King's College (now Columbia) in 1768, and was licensed by the Bishop of London, in 1771. He took charge of this church June 8th, 1771, and was admitted as rector, by Gov-

ernor Tryon, on July 16th of the same year. Governor Tryon granted this church a special charter, by virtue of which the vestry held a glebe farm of 200 acres of land "given by Beverly Robinson, Senior Warden, for the use of the Rector officiating one half of the time in the Highlands."
Rev. Mr. Doty removed to Schenectady, very much to the disapproval of the venerable Propagation Society, and was suc- ceeded by Rev. Bernard Page, in 1775. He remained but a short time, and for seventeen years there was no settled pastor. After the Revolution the Presbyterian Society endeavored to get possession of St. Peter's Church, and proceeded so far as to elect trustees, but the unworthy attempt was frustrated and the church was finally incorporated under the former name.
542
HISTORY OF PUTNAM COUNTY.
April 5th, 1750, William Denning, Caleb Ward, Charles Wor- den, Joshua Nelson, Richard Arnold, Caleb Myers, James Dusenbury and Silvanus Haight, were chosen vestrymen for St. Philip's Chapel in the Highlands, and St. Peter's Church, and on November 24th, 1791, they agreed to pay the sum of £20 to the support of David Samson "to read service in St. Peter's Church at Peekskill, and at St. Philip's Chapel in the Highlands, until the first of April next, and it is further agreed that Justus Nel- son and Silvanus Haight furnish him with necessarys agreeable to a person of his station, during the term." Rev. Andrew Fowler became rector in 1792, and William Denning as vestry- man, certified that "possession had been obtained of the par- sonage house and glebe belonging to the Church of St. Peter's and St. Philip's, at the Highlands," and in 1794, thanks were given to Hon. Pierre Van Cortlandt for his efforts in the Leg- islature, to obtain for the church the title to the glebe.
Rev. Mr. Fowler resigned in 1794 and was succeeded by Rev. Samuel Hartwell, who remained till 1798. The next pastor was Rev. Joseph Warren, who remained from 1806 to 1814. After this Rev. Adam Empil, chaplain at West Point, officiated for a few Sabbaths and administered the communion " of which they had been for two years deprived."
Rev. Petrus S. Ten Broeck, was rector in 1817; Edward J. Ives in 1826; James Sunderland, 1832; William C. Cooley, 1838.
At the time of the incorporation of this church, in 1840, Rev. Ebenezer Williams was officiating minister. It appears that the glebe or parsonage farm mentioned above was not formally given by deed to the church by Beverly Robinson, although the church had possession of it. After the Revolution this farm was, like the rest of the land of Colonel Robinson, confiscated, but by an Act of the Legislature, the commissioners of forfeit- ures were inhibited from selling the same. The farm had form- erly been in the possession of one Ebenezer Jones. Beverly Robinson and his wife " tendered to convey " the farm to the church, in 1772, and in consequence the wardens and vestry purchased the improvements of Mr. Jones, and built a house which was called the " Yellow House," and remained in posses- sion "until the service of the country demanded them to yield the same for public use." By an Act passed March 27th, 1794, all the title of the State to the farm and parsonage was given to the trustees of the "United Protestant Churches, of St. Peter's
543
TOWN OF PHILIPSTOWN.
Church, in the town of Cortlandt, in Westchester County, and St. Philip's Chapel, in Philipstown, and their successors forever, in trust for the use of said congregation." The farm was some- times rented as in 1803, when Mr. James Mandeville paid to the wardens for one year's use of the parsonage farm, the sum of £35.
The two. congregations continued united till April 18th, 1840, when an Act was passed for the "Relief of St. Peter's Church and St. Philip's Chapel." This provided that the two churches should be duly incorporated, and that the real estate of the former should be divided equitably between the two. Accord- ingly the "St. Philip's Church in the Highlands" was incor- porated July 1st, 1840, by electing Samuel Gouverneur and Harry Garrison, wardens; and Daniel Haight, Frederick Philipse, John Garrison, Henry C. De Rham, Richard D. Arden, Cornelius Nel- son, Justus Nelson, 2d, and Joshua Nelson, vestrymen.
The glebe farm remained in possession of the two churches till April 1st, 1839, when the old corporation sold it to David McCoy. The farm is described as "bounded North by land now or formerly of Isaac Lent and James Mowatt, on the East by land now or formerly of Isaac Lent, on the South by the Putnam County line, until it comes to the lands of Pierre Van Cortlandt, and West by lands now or formerly of James Mowatt and James Croft, Containing about 200 acres." The price was $5,000. The farm still remains in possession of the heirs of Mr. McCoy. It is situated in the southeast corner of the town, and the narrow gauge railroad to the Croft Mine runs through it, the right of way having been sold by the heirs at law of David McCoy to Edward E. Flint, June 19th, 1878.
