In the spring of 1774 the congregation of Shawangunk connected themselves with that division of the New Paltz Church that had espoused the views of the " Conferentie party," and worshiped in a frame building located a few rods worth of Josiah Du Bois', then known as the " Owl Church." Rev. Rynier Van Nest was the pastor of this body, and so continued until 1785, when he removed to Long Island, and the movement abated.
In the year 178S the Shawaugunk Church united with the German Reformed Church of Montgomery in a call to Rev. Moses Freligh. In 1812 the latter confined his labors to Montgomery alone. In 1815 the Reformed Protestant.

HISTORY OF ULSTER COUNTY, NEW YORK.
Dutch Church of New Prospect was set off from the Shaw- angunk Church.
The first house of worship of the latter church was located between the brick house built by Lewis Gasherie and the creek, and was called the " Hetgebet House," and on the records the " church at Shawangunk." Marriages were published there as early as 1751. In 1755 the walls of the present edifice were built and the church com- pleted under the superintendence of Isaac Hasbrouck, Dirick Roosa, and Garret Decker. In 1794 a gallery was built in it and a new roof put on, under the superintendence of Lewis Gasherie. In 1833 it was rebuilt, under the superintendence of John D. Decker, and is a substantial and imposing structure.
The pastors of the church since it- organization have been : 1753-54, Johannes Schuneman and Barent Vroo- man ; 1760-71, Johannis M. Goetschius; 1774-85, Rynier Van Nost; 1778-1813. Moses Freligh; 1813-16, Heury Polhemus; 1816-29, A. D. Wilson; 1829-31, Henry Mandeville; 1831-13, John H. Bevier; 1843-50, John B. Alliger; 1851-66, Charles Scott ; 1868, Cyril Spaulding.
The elders of the church in 1760 were Mattheus Ter- willige, Lourenz Alsdorff, J. Bruyn, Johannes Bevier, Simon Du Bois, Jacobus Hasbrouck, Johannes Harden- bergh, and Abraham Lefever. The deacons were Benjamin Smedes, Jr., Harmanus Ostrander, Hugo Terwillige, Sam- son Samnons, Johaunes Deyo, Petrus Ostrander, and Jacobus Bevier.
The present membership of the church is 203; there are three Sabbath-schools, with a membership of 150, and of which the superintendents are Charles Schoonmaker, at Bruynswick : James M. Williams, at Rutseuville; and John Evans, at Dwaarskill.
The elders of the church in 1880 are William Rhinehart, James M. Williams, Morris Johnson, and Cornelius Sny- der ; Deacons, John O. Bruyn, Howard Decker, George If. Sparks, and Joseph II. Titus.
This church was incorporated Aug. 20, 1784. The eer- tifieate recites that pursuant to statute a meeting was held Aug. 17, 1734, and that there were elected as trustees the following : Thomas Jansen, Jr., Cornelius Schoomaker, Zacharias Jansen, Henry Vanweyars, Benjamin Smedes, Jr., and Johannes Brayn. The meeting is stated to have been called on fifteen days' notice by the Rev. Bynier Vanest, " the present minister of the Gospel" to that con- gregation. The certificate was signed by Johannes Jansen, Jr., and Inge Terwillig, elders, witnessed by Zacharias Bruyn and Nicholas Hardenbergh, sworn to before Direk Wynkoop, first judge of the county of Ulster, and recorded by Christian Taypen, deputy elerk.
Under the special statute of March 7, 17SS, passed for the benefit of the Reformed Protestant Dutch Churches, the above-named trustees resigned by a certificate dated Aug. 9, 1788, and the minister, elders, and deacons became the incorporated board of said church, pur-uant to the statute.
April 2, 1796, a report upon the finances of said congre- gation was filed by the trustees, showing real estate to the amount of 93 acres, " upon which stands the church and parsonage now in possession of Rer. Moses Freligh,"
lately worth a rental of £12 per annmin, also notes aci bonds to the amount of £24 4s., on which a yearly interest was obtained of £1 14s.
Sept. 8, 1804, a return of the temporalities is recorded. signed by Rev. Moses Freligh, Jacob Rosekrans, Jeremiah Decker, David Rinchart, and Elias Decker, ministers, elders, and deacons.

This society effected a legal organization Oct. 8, 1515. The elders signing the certificate were Hazael Van Keuren. Cornelius Brink ; the deacons, George Niver and James Slatt. The certificate was verified Nov. 4, 1815, before James Kain, one of the judges of the Court of Common Pleas. The paper has this singular fact in its history this it was held for sixty years, and then recorded March 12. 1875.
The church originated by the presentation of a petition to the Classis of Ulster County, Aug. 29, 1815; for per- mission to organize a distinct congregation. The request was granted upon condition that the new Consistory should pay, and continue to pay to the Consistory of Shawangunk as long as Rev. Henry Polhemus is pastor, a sum suffi- cient to entitle them to eight Sabbaths' service yearis. The petition is signed by Cornelius Briuk, Charles Win- field, William Rosekrans, John Peek, Samuel Terwilliger. Hazael Van Keuren, T. H. S.

Jonathan. L. Vernooy
This family is of German descent, the progenitor of which came from Holland and settled in the town of Wawarsing during the time of the Revolution- ary war. Jonathan L. Vernooy was born in Wa- warsing, Ang. 10, 1821. He was the seventh in a family of nine children of Simon and Catharine (Jenkins) Vernooy, the former born in Wawarsing, Oet. 11, 1777, and the latter in New Jersey, on Oct. 28, 1785. The children of Simon and Catha- rine were as follows : Margaret (deceased), Abraham (a farmer of Shawangunk, born May 16, 1807, and married Sarah Crispell, by whom he has a family of four children, viz., Simon, Catharine, Sarah, and Martha Jane), Hannah (deceased), Sarah Maria (deceased), John (deceased), Catharine (deceased), Jonathan L., Magdalen (deceased), and Simon (de- ceased).
The father of our subject was a blacksmith by trade, but was also engaged in farming. He died April 5, 1855; his wife survived him until Jan. 9, 1875. Jonathan L. Vernooy had no advantages of
obtaining an education. He was engaged in agri- cultural pursuits on his father's farm until 1848, when he entered mercantile life as a elerk to Hiram Sammons, at Tuthill, Ulster Co., where he remained two years. He was afterwards employed for two years by Joseph Jolison, at Galeville, Ulster Co., and for three years by Thomas Jessup, a dry goods merchant of Newburg, N. Y.
For the past twenty-five years he has been engaged in the sale of general merchandise at Dwaarskill. Ulster Co., thirteen of which were in partnership with his brother John, but since the death of his brother in 1868 he has conducted the business alone.
He was for some fifteen years postmaster at Dwaarskill. In polities he is a Republican, but was never an office-seeker. He has been a member of the Reformed Church of Shawangnak for the past thirty years, and has held the offices of elder and deacon in that organization. In 1865 he was ap- pointed enumerator of the census for the second district of the town of Shawanguuk.

tive house of worship was commenced soon after, and on March 23, 1871, it was formally dedicated. It cost about $13,000. The parsonage was built in the spring of 1872, and, with the barn and sheds, cost about $ $500.
Though a young organization, it is in a flourishing con- dition, and has a membership of 100; size of Sabbath- school, 75; Sunday-school library, 150 volumes; Super- intendent, Thomas J. Deyo.
The pastors of the church have been Benjamin C. Lip- pincott, 1872-77, and Rev. Richard De Witt, the present pastor, who conneneed his labors in 1877. The elders of the church are Jacob Tears, J. V. S. Radiker, T. J. Deyo, and J. D. C. Hill. The deneons are A. Bryson, Il. Lefe- ver, L. W. K. Lippincott, and E. Roosa.

X .- BURIAL-PLACES.
Of these there are quite a number in town, some being used by private families only. The most interesting bury. ing-ground is the old one adjoining the Shawangunk Dutch Reformed church. The oldest stone which it contains is about a foot high, and probably indicates the date of the first burial in the yard. It contains the following untrans- latable marks:
" Ano 1752, M E DEI ISOL E P."
Another old stone contains the following inscription :
" Alexander Clinton, Esquire, born 28 April, 1732, died March 11, 1758, N. S."
Other inscriptions in the yard are as follows :
" Sacred to the memory of Johannis Bruyn, Esq .. who departed this life on the 10th day of February, 1814, aged 63 years, 11 months, end IF dayy.
" Sweet be the slumbers of this virtuous sage, Who from a well-spent life retir'd in age. The stroke of death could not his peace destroy ; Ile died in faith the realus above t' enjoy."
" In memory of Jacobus Bruyn, Esq', who died the 26th day of April, A.D., M.D.C.C.L.XXXI. Aged 75 years & 5 mon.
"Ilis iportal part now claims its pristine state,
Which heaven once taught whate'er was good and great,
That Virtues Eminent like his can die,
Full oft his friends .hall witness with a sigh,
And say, when passing by this well-known grave, Here rests the good, the Just, the wise, the brave. 'Mong fallen men so few like him remain,
' We scarce shall look upon his like again.' The friend of human-kind, his Country's friend,
And in one word, his Eulogy to end
( Let truth say more of monarchs if she ean ), Here lies God's Noblest work,-an HONEST MAN !"
"To the memory of all that could be lost in the Husband, the Father, and the Friend, James Kain, who departed this life on the 26th of July, 1812, aged 55 years.
" Affliction sore long time I bore, Physician's art was vain, Till God did please to give me ease, And free me from my pain.
" A Husband Kin.l, a parent dear, A faithful frieud lies buried here. Free'd from the world's distressing care & pain, His soul is fled immortal joys to guin."

HISTORY OF ULSTER COUNTY, NEW YORK.
XII .- INDUSTRIAL PURSUITS.
The various streams of the town have been generally utilized in the industrial development of the town. The earliest operations were commenced at Galeville, where a man named Milford had a mill on one side of the stream, and Mr. Gale on the other. On the Shawangunk-Kill a man by the name of Lynch operated a mill. At Red Mills a grist- and saw-mill was operated by one Harris. Jacobus Bruyn had an early mill on the same stream, now operated by J. C. Bruyn. James N. Mitchell and Israel D. Condit were also early mill operators at the " basin." Brodhead Winfield had a saw-mill below Galeville at an early day. A steam saw-mill has just been erected on his property by Mr. Terpenning, of Highland, town of Lloyd. Beach Brothers operate a flourishing paper mill at Shawangunk, and James B. Crowell is engaged in the manufacture of sleighs, agricultural implements, and turned-wood products generally, about a mile above the village.
XIII .- MILITARY HISTORY.
Unfortunately, there are no data in existence by which we can determine the position taken by the town in the earlier wars. There are no records bearing upon the sub- ject, and the voice of tradition has been stilled by the lapse of time. Without doubt many of the early settlers of the town performed active service in the Continental army during the trying days of the Revolution, but their names are now lost to us. Johannes Jansen was the colonel of a militia regiment raised near the opening of the Revolution, and performed much active service. Sophrine Tenhout also served in that war. Others we cannot Dame.
Thomas Bruyn commanded a company raised in the town in the war of 1812, and doubtless had many of his friends and neighbors under his command. The following also served as soldiers : John Cameron, David Decker, John Eckert, John Hanyan, George Snyder, Levi D. Tarbell, and Thomas Upright.
To the suppression of the Rebellion of 1861-65 the town promptly contributed her quota of men, in answer to the several calls of the President, and by her patriotic voice sustained the Government amil the trying exigencies of the times. On Aug. 1;, 1864, 830,000 was voted to be raised for the payment of bounties.
The list of soldiers who served in behalf of the town in the war is necessarily incomplete, by reason of the failure of the town to comply with the act of 1865 in full by keeping a copy of the record trausmitted to the Bureau of Military Record at Albany. The following list is compiled, in the main, from the census returns of 1865 and the printed muster-in rolls of the State :

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH.
CORNELIUS A. J. HARDENBERGH
(Jacob R.,5 Louis,' Johannes." Cornelius," Johannes!) was sixth in lineadl descent from Johannes Hardenbergh, who caune from Holland about 1660, and settled in Ulster County. His descendant, Jacob R., was foremost among the founders of the college and theological seminary at New Brunswick, N. J., and a brother of Louis, both of Ulster County. Jacob R. entered the ministry at the age of twenty years, and was obliged to go to Holland for his license.
Jacob Rutson, father of the subject of this notice, married Rachel Jansen, by whom he had five sons, Louis, Matthew, Cornelius A. J., Martin S., and Abraham J. The mother of these children died in 1833, aged thirty- eight. Jacob R. married again and reared one sou, Her- man R., and five daughters.
Cornelius A. J. Hardenbergh was born in the town of Shawangunk, on the farm where he now resides, Jan. 31, 1826. Upon his father's death, Dec. 23, 1858, at the age of sixty-eight, he bought the old homestead. He carried on wagon-making at Ulsterville in the neighborhood where he resides until the law creating a tax on manufactures came into force, and then gave up the business, believing the tax to be ou labor, and unjust.
