MIDDLE PATENT METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCHI. -The Methodist Church at Middle Patent was in- eorporated December 24, 1825, a meeting being held at the house of Captain James Banks, " agreeably to legal notice of fifteen days previously given, for the purpose of electing trustees for a house of worship about to be erected in Middle Patent for the use of the Methodist Church. John Ferris, Peter Bussing, Ezekiel Fineh, William Finch and Jacob Johnson were elected trustees of said house, which is to be de- nominated and known by the style and title of Wes- ley Chapel."4 For several years before this, religious services had been held in the old school-house, about a quarter of a mile north of the present church.

building was but a few years ago moved away by David C. Banks, to the farm now owned by Benjamin C. Arnold. The first house of worship was erected in 1825 on land procured from Joshua Knapp.

The prominent members at that time were John Ferris, (father of Dr. W. H. Ferris), Rev. Peter Bus- sing, Enos Hobby, Allen Hobby, Jacob Johnson, Ezekiel Finch, William Finch and James Guion. The building now used as a dwelling, immediately north of the church, was the first church edifice in Middle Patent. At the time of organization this church was under the care of the Croton Circuit. In 1826 the Mount Pleasant Circuit was formed and in- cluded all the societies in this neighborhood. In 1833 this again was divided, and the Bedford Circuit was formed, with ten appointments, of which Middle Patent was the strongest in number of members.1 The Bedford Circuit was discontinued in 1856, and since that time Middle Patent has always been connected with Bedford as a charge, except during three years, 1872-73-74, when it was with Armonk under the care of Rev. Adce Vail.

(For list of pastors from 1856 to the present time sce Bedford, History of Methodist Episcopal Church). The present church edifice was built in 1842. It stands about half-way between Bedford and the Con- nectient line, and near the western boundary of the original Middle Patent.

METHODIST CHURCH OF KENSICO .- The Method- ist Episcopal Church at Kensico was organized at a meeting held for that purpose November 8, 1835, in the old red school-house, where religious mectings had been held for some time before that date. The place was then known as Robbins' Mills, Kensico being an Indian name which was selected when the post-office was established there, about 1848. The first trustees were Sands Sutton, John Robbins, Caleb P. Horton, Hatfield Davis and Edwin Palmer, and the corporate name adopted for the church was " North Castle Zion Methodist Episcopal Church in Westchester County." On the 29th of December, 1835, a plot of land was given by Daniel H. Fisher, and a house of worship erccted thereon during the following wiuter and spring, at a cost of about eight hundred dollars.

It was dedicated July 10, 1836, the Rev. Lewis M. Pease, of New York, officiating on the occasion. This honse served the purpose of the society for nearly half a century. The last sermon was preached in the old church October 11, 1885, by Rev. William F. Hat- field, of Tarrytown, who had resided in the nciglibor- hood and attended services there in his boyhood. On the 14th of that month it was sold, with the land be- longiug to it, to Mr. Patrick Daly, to be used for a Roman Catholic Church.

On September 8, 1885, the trustees bought of Mrs. Mary Fowler a site for a new church, near the old

one, but on the opposite side of the highway. The cost was three hundred dollars. The new building was soon begun, and the corner-stone was laid on November 18, 1885, with appropriate ceremonies. The Rev. Dr. G. H. Gregory, presiding elder of the district, couducted the services, assisted by the pastor, Rev. Robert Kerr, and by Rev. Delos Lull, of White Plains. This house is now nearly completed. It is a church-like edifice of modern architecture and pleas- ing appearance, and is valued, with furniture and bell, at about four thousand dollars. The present board of trustees consists of William O. Carpenter, Daniel H. Wyckoff, Lewis S. Onderdonk, Edwin Cox and Virgil A. Krepps.

Since the dissolution of the Bedford Circuit in 1856, this church has been associated with Armonk as a pastoral charge, except during the years 1872-73-74, when it was not connected with any other church, and was under the care of the Rev. Jacob C. Wash- burn. The names of the other ministers are given in the sketch of the Armonk Methodist Episcopal Church.

ST. STEPHEN'S CHURCHI .- The first eutry in the records of the business meetings of St. Stephen's Church sets forth that " at a meeting of male persons of full age belonging to the Congregation assembling for Divine Worship in the Log Cabin,2 Milesquare, Town of North Castle on the tenth of October, 1842," the initial steps were taken toward the organization of a church. The services in the Log Cabin had beeu conducted by the Rev. Robert W. Harris, of White Plains, and to his efforts St. Stephen's owes its origin.

There is a tradition that there was an intention to establish a church of this denomination in this neigh- borhood nearly a hundred years bef re, but it was abandoned, and the building was erected iu 1761 at New Castle Corners, then a part of this town. (Sec St. Mark's Church, New Castle.)

At the umeeting referred to, on October 10, 1842, Israel Townsend and Samuel B. Ferris were elceted church wardens, and John Merritt, Reuben M. Greeu, Leemon B. Tripp, Joseph Close, Zial Eggleston, Elisha Sutton, Jonathan H. Green and Isaiah Town- send were chosen vestrymen, under the title of "St. Ste- phen's Church in the village of Milesquare, town of North Castle." The articles of incorporation were filed in the office of the county clerk some little time afterward. The erection of the present edifice was begun in the spring following, and it was consecrated in September, 1843. It stands on the street which cn- ters the village from the east, fronting the south, and occupying a handsome plot of ground. Adjoining is the parish burial-place.

The Rev. R. W. Harris, then rector of Grace Church, White Plains, took charge of the parish until 1853, when the Rev. Isaac D. Vermilye became the first

" The " Log Cabin " was erected by the Whigs in the summer of 1840, for holding politieal meetings. It stood at the corner of the two streets where the Methodist Church now is.

regular rector, officiating also at St. Mark's, New Cas- tle, until the early part of 1858. His pastorate here continued until his death, in 1864. The Rev. Martin Moody had charge of the parish for a part of 1865, and was sneeeeded by Rev. Joseph W. Hyde in 1866. Each of these occupied the field for a few months only.

The Rev. C. Winter Bolton assumed the rectorship April 1, 1867, and, like his predecessors, took charge of St. Mark's, five miles distant, until about Easter, 1871, since which date each parish has had its own rector. Mr. Bolton continued rector of St. Stephen's until October 13, 1880, when he resigned. The Rev. Benjamin T. Hall was called to the reetorship Janu- ary 24, 1881, and entered upon its duties soon after. He remained until September 18, 1882, when he re -* moved to St. Mark's. There was then a vacancy for about a year, during which time, however, services were supplied by various persons. The Rev. John T. Pearce was called to be reetor October 11, 1883, began his duties on the 28th of the same month, and is the present pastor. On the opposite side of the street from the ehnrch, on a beautiful lot given for the purpose by Mr. William R. Carr, stands the rectory. It is a commodious and tasteful house.

ST. MARY'S CHURCH .- St. Mary's Church is situa- ted in the northeastern part of the town, but little more than a mile from the Bedford line, on the road leading from Bedford village to Stanwich, in Connec- tieut, in a neighborhood which is now somewhat less populous than it was thirty years ago. It owes its origin to the labors of the Rev. Alfred H. Partridge, rector of St. Matthew's, in Bedford, who has left in the record-book of the church a careful aceonnt of its early history. For several years previous to 1851 he had officiated in the neighborhood, preaching onee a month in the school-house near Samnel Brown's, and collected a good congregation of devout and humble worshippers, so that the room was not large enough to accommodate all who came. He often expressed the desire to have a church built, but did not meet with much encouragement until the Rev. Washington Rodman, of West Farms, preached there in the fall of 1851, when he became so much interested in the enterprise that he promised to contribute two hundred dollars toward a church edifice. "Then the people were aroused to the necessity and importance of the undertaking," says Mr. Partridge, "and the work be- gan in earnest. Measures were immediately taken to colleet funds, which resulted in a complete success." The building cost $1623.13, exclusive of timber, blinds and furniture. The ladies of the congregation contributed a large amount; Rev. Mr. Rodman, already mentioned and the Rev. Dr. Harris, of White l'lains, were among those who gave to the work. The church was consecrated to the worship of God by Bishop Jonathan Mayhew Wainwright, September 22, 1853.

The usual steps for incorporation were taken at a meeting held December 29, 1851, at which time

Samuel Brown and Benjamin Smith were elected church wardens, and Joseph S. Hobby, Henry Hobby, David M. Johnson, Henry Downes, William H. Hobby, Samuel Lounsbury, William Downes and Oli- ver Finch were elected vestrymen, under the name and title "St. Mary's Church in the town of North Castle."

Owing to an informality in regard to the proper witnessing of the signatures to the artieles, it became necessary to prepare and reeord others, which was done September 15, 1853, the officers being the same.

The church was in charge of the Rev. Mr. Par- tridge uutil May, 1855, when he resigned, and Rev. Franklin Babbitt became the rector,1 remaining until his resignation, in December, 1857. In the following year he was succeeded by the Rev. Isaac D. Ver- milye, who also officiated at St. Stephen's, Armonk, some seven or eight miles distaut. He preached here until failing health compelled him to abandon this part of his charge about three years before his death, which occurred August 24, 1864. Rev. E. B. Boggs, of St. Matthew's, then took charge of the parish for a year or more. The Rev. Angus M. Ives succeeded to the rectorship, preaching at Lewisboro at the same time. He remained the pastor until 1865. In Octo- ber, 1866, the Rev. Lea Lnquer, of St. Matthew's, finding the field vacant, began to hold services here, and continued them regularly each Suuday for some years. As his health proved unequal to this demand, he preached at less frequent intervals until 1878, since which time the church has been elosed.

THE FRIENDS' MEETING-HOUSE. - A Friends' Meeting at North Castle was spoken of as early as 1742, and it was reported as regularly held in 1764. A Preparative Meeting was established here in 1797, and the house was built in that year. A Preparative Meeting is a meeting for the transaction of church business, appointing representatives to the Monthly Meetings, etc. The meetings held before the Prepara- tive were meetings for worship, and were held at private honses. The North Castle Meeting was a part of the Chappaqua Monthly Meeting.

The house was abandoned some twenty years ago in consequence of the sparseness of the Quaker popula- tion in that immediate neighborhood, those to the south attending the Purchase Meeting, and those farther north the Chappaqua. The house was sold to be used as a shop, and is still in good repair.

PROSPECTIVE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH .- The old Methodist Church at Kensico was bought by Mr. Patrick Daly, of that place, and has been put in re- pair with the expectation that it would eventually become a Roman Catholic Church. Its purchase, for use as a Sunday-school building, was approved by the pastor of St. John's Roman Catholic Church, at White Plains, in which parish it is, and a Sunday- school will soon be established. No formal organiza- tion has yet been effected.

CEMETERIES .- There are no incorporated eeme- terics in the town, nor indeed any of modern preten- sions. There are many family burial-plots all over the town, most of which are no longer in use, althoughi they are preserved and guarded from injury. One of the oldest public burying-grounds is that near where the old Methodist Church stood at Sands' Mills. There is also an ancient one near the Bedford road. Adjoining the Middle Patent Methodist Church and St. Stephen's Church at Armonk there are eemeteries of respectable size and neat ap- pearance.

CHAPTER XIV.

RYE.

BY REV. CHARLES W. BAIRD, D.D., l'astor of the Presbyterian Church, Rye.

As a frontier settlement of New England, as a bor- der-town and as a part of the "Neutral Ground," Ryc possesses distinctive elaims to historical notice. Its territory lies on the confines of two States, New York and Connecticut, whose boundaries from the outset were but ill defined and remained for nearly a century in dispute. Beginning with a point of land that juts into Long Island Sound, a tract nowhere more than two miles wide stretches northward about nine miles to a sharp angle on the Connecticut border. This traet, to which the Indians gave the name Peningo, constitutes, with the island of WILL'S 2º PURCHASE Manussing on the east and a part of the neighboring shore on the west, the town of Rye. Owing to its pecu- liar location it became a "de- batable land,"-a faet per- ceptibly bearing on tlie so- cial and especially on the 0 religious character of the WILL'S community. Until after the IST PURCHASE Revolution the town of Rye 2 comprehended also the pre- sent towns of Harrison and MOCKQUAMS R. MANUSSING ARMONCK R. the White Plains. The nar- row traet along Byram River and the Sound WESTCHESTER PATH was first occu- pied by the set- PENI APAWAMIS tler's for eon- venience and sceurity, be- / ** PURCHASE N PENINGO NECK cause nearer and more ac- eessible to the very much older plantations of Con- necticut. Soon, however, they removed from the shore, where the surface is rocky and broken, to more favorable situations inland. But the inequality of surface imparts to Rye a picturesque and varied beauty, and adds attraetion as a place of suburban resort and residenee. In the south and south- west, towards the Sound and bordering upon it, the land is generally level. Near the Episcopal Church rises a rocky ridge, extending northward and dividing the town into two nearly cqual par.s. This ridge gradually widens into a plateau of un- dulating surface, one-fourth to three-fourthis of a mile wide, sloping on the northeast to Byram River and on the west to Blind Brook. Another ridge begins at the lower end of Peningo Neck or Brown's Point and gradually rises toward Grace Church Street, where it breaks into a

HISTORY OF WESTCHESTER COUNTY.

suecession of hills that extend to the village of Port Chester. Along the shore of the Sound the rocks form low bhiffs, or are broken into large, irregular masses. Similar masses of coarse granite below the beach form " clumps " or islands, euriously worn and perforated. Bar Rock is the clump which at low tide is connected with the beach by a sand-bar ; Humph- rey's Rock is the clump south of Bar Rock; Black Tom lies east of Parsonage Point ; 1 Wrack Clump, southeast of Pine Island, is so called from the fact that many vessels have been wrecked on its rocks.

The settlement of Rye dates back more than two hundred years to the time when the Dutch were still in possession of the province they called " New Neth- erland." It was in Westchester County that the troubles of the Dutch with the Indian tribes of the interior commenced. Here also began those difficulties with the English which, though less san- guinary, foreboded much more clearly the termination of the Dutch rule. The region that included the site of the present town of Rye was an almost unbroken wilderness. Except along the seaboard, no settlement had been effected by either Dutch or English. The country lying between the Hudson and the Byram Rivers was claimed by a part of the Mohegan tribe. Their villages were most numerous along the shores of the Sound. A Mohegan village stood near the beach. The level grounds along the shores of the creek north of the present village of Milton were cultivated as In - dian fields. Here and there clusters of wigwams oc- curred on the western bank of the creek overlooking the salt meadows through which the Mockquais or Blind Brook winds to the Sound. Some families, too, had their homes on Manussing Island, off the eastern shore of the neck. Much of the country was over- spread by swamps. One of these extended through the valley-once perhaps the basin of a lake or the bed of a river-between Rye and Port Chester. Another, which the beaver frequented, stretched along the valley of the Apawamis. Through the woods ad- joining this stream, the hunter followed his prey ; and near by an Indian path, obliquely cutting this tract of land at its widest part, formed the rude thor- ough fare connecting the native settlements, which was early designated by the English as " the Old West- chester Path."

This path was originally an Indian trail, that led from Manhattan Island to a wading-place not far from the mouth of Byram River, and thence through the present town of Greenwich, perhaps to Stamford and beyond. It was used by the Dutch and English from thie very first occupation of the country, and long before any towns or plantations appeared along its course it formed a line of travel between New York

and New England. It was probably for this reason that the earliest settlements were made upon this line. It is now the dividing line between the towns of Rye and Harrison. The first allusion to it occurs in 1661. Five years later it was already spoken of as "ye now known and common path coming up from Westches- ter." The path in the town of Rye has been disused for probably more than a hundred years, except in somne few places, and as a way of communication be- tween one farm and another. The marked trees which formerly indicated its course are now replaced by small granite posts, denoting the boundary line of the towns of Rye and Harrison. By means of this bound- ary we may trace the old path for about three miles from the vicinity of Mamaroneck River to a point on the banks of Blind Brook, near the house now owned by Mr. Charles Park. Beyond this its course is not certainly known. It is believed, however, that Ridge Street is the continuation of the old Westchester Path, at least for some distance.

It was in the last days of the Dutch rule in North America that a little company of New Englanders from the neighboring town of Greenwich, Conn., un- dertook to establish themselves on a territory de- scribed in their own language as "a small tract of land lying between Greenwich and Westchester. It was one of those "necks" to which the Indians were so partial, ou account of the facilities afforded them for fishing. Here stood the villages of several Mohe- gan families, and near by lay their gardens and corn- fields. From the abundance of Indian remains in this neighborhood, it seenis highly probable that both Peningo Neck and Manussing Island had already, in a measure, been prepared for the occupation of the Connecticut colonists, who found these shores com- paratively denuded of the forest, aud in some localitics under a tolerable degree of cultivation.
