The Period of the Revolution .- When the British forces landed at Bath, in New Utrecht, preparatory to the Battle of Brooklyn, August, 1776, they soon made their presence known, and swarmed up over the country. "Before noon," an old lady, who saw them, used to say, " the Red Coats were so thick in Flatlands yon could walk on their heads." They phin- dered nearly every house, especially those of the Whigs. The maternal grandmother of Supervisor Ryder used to tell of their entrance into her father's house in Gravesend. HIer mother sent her ahead to open every chest and closet, so the soldiers would not break into them with their muskets. When, however, they seized her new bonnet, the girl's courage rose equal to the emergency: and, suddenly snatching it from them, she defended it so stontly against threats and violence that they left the trophy in her hands. The soldiers entered the honse of Elias Hubbard (father of the late Judge Hub- bard), yet standing on Hubbard's Lane, and were fur- nished liberally by his wife, Margaret Lake, with milk. bread and butter, and, in fact, with all the edibles of the house. But, when they attempted to drive away her cow, she planted herself at the yard-gate and com- pelled them to desist.
At evening, after the landing, the British camp-fires were seen all along the road from New Utrecht to Flatbush. The main body passed by way of Gravesend. Earl Cornwallis pushed forward with the Reserves, and a detachment of Hossians also eneamped that night at

NEFORMED DUTCH CHURCH OF FLATLANDS.
Flatbush, all having passed through Flatlands. The tradition is, that Col. Kniphansen's horse, and perhaps his whole regiment, occupied the Amerman farm, now Jeremiah Ryder's. With this exception, no troops are known to have encamped here, or to have been quar- tered upon the inhabitants. A guard was stationed at Captain Nicholas Schenek's, at Canarsie Point, and another at Mr. Wyckoff's, Flatlands Neck, now the residence of John A. Wyckoff. The soldiers occupied the kitchen, and the sonthwest room of the house was used as a lock-up.
The services of the church, and of the common schools, were carried forward as if nothing unusual was occurring. Seventeen infants were baptized in the Flatlands Dutch Church, in the year 1776. This unin- terrupted worship is the more remarkable, from the fact that the pastor was universally regarded as a decided, and sometimes over-zealous, friend of the American canse.
At the elose of the war there was a celebration at Flatbush, by Whigs from the county towns. Flatlands was represented by four men ; two of them were Abra- ham Voorhees (father of Hon. John A. Voorhees) and Elias Hubbard (grandfather of A. H. Hubbard). The British had left each of these two men one old horse, and these were each blind. of one eye. The two imper- feet horses were harnessed together on this jubilee occa- sion, and drew the patriots to Flatbush.
Reformed Dutch Church of Flatlands -There are but two Duteh churches in America older than that of Flatlands, viz., the Collegiate Dutch Church of New York, formed in 1628, and the North Datch Church of Albany, 1642. The churches of Flatlands and Flatbush were formed on the same day, February 9th, 1654, by Rev. Johannes Megapolensis, pastor of the Collegiate Claireh, and their history will be found in the chapter of this work devoted to The Ecclesiastical History of Kings County, from 1654-1800. When, in 1654, a church was completed at Flatbush, at a cost of $1,800, Flatlands contributed 848. The first minister, the Rev. Jo. Theodorus Polhemns must have preached in Flat- lands, in private houses, or in the school-house, for eight or nine years, until, September 12th, 1662, the people asked for the privilege of building themselves a church edifice, which was granted by the Governor and Council. The next year (1663) saw the enterprise completed. The erection of this early church by the unaided effort of a small community of poor settlers, in the midst of heathenism, was very ereditable to them. They chose- an excellent location, near their primitive settlement, and gently elevated, and which had been sacred from time immemorial as an Indian burial place. In form, the church was octagonal, with a belfry, and an inelosed portal called the Baptistry, or " Doophuisje;" the whole being covered, on roof and sides, with heavy spruce shingles, which were so durable as to have survived to our day. The people were, at first, summoned to wor-
ship by the sound of a drum, but in losti a subscription (which still remains in the archives) was circulat.l. and 556 guilders were collected for a bell, being more than 100 guilders in excess of subscriptions. The tet was probably imported from Holland, as in September the next year 7 gl. is paid for " a rope for the. b.B." Ti ... appearance of the church in the year of its erection i- complimented in the words of Capt. Scott : "This is 4 handsome place and has a fine church." And this. coming from a violent enemy, we accept as true.
This elurch continued in use the long period of !!! years, until 1794, when it was torn down and a new church built. The pulpit of the original church was of the "wine-glass" style, had a sounding board, and was furnished with a " bench." The hearers' seats were not luxurious. They were "benches." In 1697 Evert Van Weckelin was paid 150 gl., or 860, " for making benches in the church," and repairs to the benches were made from time to time long afterward. Chairs were in very moderate use. In 1716, S gl. were paid " for 2 chairs in the elmurch," and, in 1785, 18s. for a similar purchase. One of these chairs was for the magistrate. and the other for the Yof crow, or minister's wife. The latter, purchased in 1685, is now preserved in affer- tionate honor at the Flatlands parsonage.
The church edifice was repaired and enlarged in 1762, after it had been in use 99 years. The enlarge- ment consisted in advancing the three front sections of the original octagon, leaving the new front square and the full width of the building. The original seating capacity must have been 125 or 130. In 1762 the 122 regular sittings, or " places," were held as follows :
Cornelius Voorhees, 5 ; Steve Schenck, 4 ; Johamr > Lott 7 ; Hermann Hooglandt, 5: Wm. Kouwenhoven, 5 : Roelof Voorhees, 4 : Fammetie Ditmars, 3; Roelof Van Voothers. 4 : John Van Der Bilt, 5 ; Jeremiah Van Derbilt. 1 ; Abraham Voorhees, 5 : Folkert Sprong, 2 ; Abraham Dorye, 4 : Coustyn Golneck, 1; Peter Wykof, 3 ; Johannes Lott. Jr., 3: Win. Van Gelder, 3; Derrick Remsen. 4: Henrick Lott. 4: Jan Schenck, 5 : Wilhelmus Stoothoof, 7: Jan Ouke. 1 ; Marte Ouke. 1; Samuel Garreson, 1; Bernardus Ryder. 2: Bort Terhune, 4 ; Jannes Holbert, 2 : Fernandas Van Segelen. 1 : Barent Vanderventer, 1: Abraham Schenck, 1: Callyntje Janse, 1 : Garrett Wykoff, 3: Getore Heyn, 2: Jan Amer- man. 6; Annatie Wykof, 5: Petrus Amerman. 3; Jacob Ouke, 1 ; Helena Ouke, 1 ; Eisack Selover, 1.
The following are the war places :
Pieter Wykof, 2; Derrick Remsen, 1; Abraham Dorye, 1 : Christoffer Hoogland, 1 ; Johannes Lott, 3 : Garret Kouwen- hoven, 1; Wilhelmus Stoothoof, 2 ; Garret Wykof, 2 : Abra- ham Voorhees. 1 ; Coustyn Golneck, 2 ; Henrick Wykof. 1 ; Joosh Van Nuys, 2: Nicholas Schenck. 1; Jan Onke, 1 : Folkert Sprong, 2 ; Roelof Van Voorhees. 1 : Evert Seerman. 1 ; Jan Van Der Bilt, 1; Marten Ouke, 1; Abraham Van Geldrin, 1-24.
It will be seen that the total number of sittings actually taken, in 1762, was 150, by 53 persons. Accord- ing to a list, in 1767, 41 persons hired 118 sittings. It would seem therefore clear that the first church build
11

ing, even when eulargel, would not accommodate many more than 150.
The sittings in church went with the farms, and were often named in deeds; and, so late as the present pas- torate, pew-rents have been paid by agents of property where no use was made of the sittings, simply because the pew went with the property. In 1716 it was ordered that a non-resident might hold his sittings by due pay- ment of rent. Otherwise he lost them after " one year and six weeks." lle might sell them to a resident of Amersfort, but not to a non-resident. In 1794, at the building of the new church, the limit was reduced to six months.
It became at length apparent that Flatlands needed a new church edifice. Influential families advocated.it. The father of Derrick and Johannes Remsen, among others, urged that the church was too small and falling to decay. A town meeting, called March 4th, 1794, resolved to build a new church and to raise money for the work by the sale of the town lots, hitherto held for the benefit of the church. A committee appointed for both purposes inserted the following notice in a New York paper, March 8th, 1794 : "Notice is hereby given to carpen- ters that proposals will be received by Abram Voorhees. Rem Hageman and Win. Kouwenhoven, for building a church at Flatlands, 60 feet by 40 feet, timber and materials to be furnished by them."
This notice was responded to by Smith & King, builders, who contracted to finish the work according to the specifications for $400. On March 26th, John Bax- ter, vendue master, sokl " the Neck woods, the farm and commons belonging to the church." May 6th, the car- penters began taking down the venerable church, and finished May 27. July 29th and 30th the new church was raised. November 2d the debris of the old church was sold. November 12th a town meeting was held, when it was resolved to use the moneys of the Poor Chest to finish the church. The pews were distributed by lot on December 20th, and on the 13th the house was dedicated by Rev. Peter Lowe, one of the pastors, who preached from Ex. xx., 24, last clause. The bell was put into position December 26 ; and, the next day, the associate pastor, Rev. Martiuns Schoonmaker, preached.
"There were 55 pews disposed of, leaving still some for the commons," as was at first proposed. The church of 1794 had a steeple containing a bell (the same now in nse). The old bell, bought in 1686, and weighing 22 lbs., was now taken by Jolm Bailey of New York, at E5, 16s. 8d .; in part pay for the new bell of 4583 lbs. which cost £84, 15s. 2d. The building was lighted by five large windows on each side, and had a single entrance in the south side, or point. It was inclosed with a pieket fence, a few feet from the building, on three sides; but having a post and rail fenee at the rear. The church was painted a dull red color, and sanded while the paint was new. In later years the effort
was made to paint it white. Lombardy poplar- were at the front and rear. The interior was ceiled with pine-stuff, rendered famous by the number of knots which showed their dark color through the paint. A relie of olden times, was the Town Stocks and Whipping Post, which adorned the open space in front of the church near the burial-ground.
This church, like that of 1663, was destitute of heat- ing apparatus until 1825, when 39 persons subscribed $69, and a large wood stove was introduced. The old style of pulpit gave way in 1827, when 47 persons sub- scribed $145.25, "as a New Year's gift toward build- ing a New Pulpit in our church." Of these subscribers one still lingers, Jeremiah Ryder, in honored oll age. Not to be outdone by the men, in March, 46 ladies sul- scribed $63, "for dressing the New Pulpit." The pulpit was built by Jervis R. Woolsey, for $132.75.
The church built in 1794 continued in use to 1:45. The frame, which had become weakened, began to allow the side-walls to spread in a threatening manner, and strong iron rods failed to afford security. On May 31st. 1847, the consistory resolved to solicit funds for a new church, and $3,817 were promised. The consistory associated Peter Debaun, John Holmes and Cornelius Kouwenhoven, with themselves as building committee; but, as they declined to serve, the pew-holder-, hy invita- tion of consistory, appointed (Feb. 3d, 1848) John Rein- sen, William Kouwenhoven and Jeromus Van Nayse. the Building Committee. The consistory confirmed this action. The church was built by day's work and prin- cipally by Henry J. Eldert. It was 636 feet by 443 feet, and was completed, together with the shed- and fences, at a cost of $5,506.29. This house is still in use. When opened, it contained 66 pews, 58 of which were taken at once by families. In the winter of 1:71 sind 1872, side galleries were introduced, adding about 100 sittings ; and the whole house, outside and inside, was repaired and repainted, at a cost of about $3,500.
In 1853, Aune Terhune conveyed to the consistory a lot near the south-westerly corner of the church lot, on which to build a house for evening lectures and Sur- day-school. This lot was enlarged afterward, by gift from Peter Lott, and Marin, his wife, to about 70 by 40 feet. In 1853 the ladies appropriated funds of the sewing society, and money collected by Mrs. Martha Woolsey, and others, and a building was erected by John S. Brown at a cost of $1,300. R. Magaw, J. Wil- liamson and. T. Garretson (beside the consistory) were the building committee. This building has been added to, and is now 58 by 26 feet. The whole was, in les1, put iu prime order at a cost of $350.
THE PASTORS of the Dutch Church of Flatlands under the collegiate system, from 1654, are given in the chapter on " The Ecclesiastica History of Kings County, 1654-1800. Of these, Mr. Van Sinderin (1746- 1784) married, and acquired landed property in this town, and is the only one of the Kings Coumy pr. ach ..

ers who resided and was buried here. Peter Lowe, (born in) Kingston, N. Y., 1764, was pastor of the collegiate churches 1787-1808. In the latter year Flatbush and Flatlands formed a union sep- arate from the rest, and Dominie Lowe became pastor of these two churches alone. He died in 1818. Dominic Schoonmaker continued in the pastorate of all the churches till his death ; Walter Monteith was called by Flatlands and Flatbush to his first charge in 1819. He remained only a year. The union between Flatlands and Flatbush closed with the departure of Mr. Monteith. In May, 1822, Flatbush called Rev. Thomas M. Strong, D.D. During 1823 a churel build- mg was begun in New Lots, and dedicated in July, 1824. The society there was part of the Flatbush congregation; bnt in August of 1824, the Classis of Long Island organ- ized the New Lots people into a church, and during the following winter they formned a union with Flatlands. In February, 1825, Rev. William Cruikshank was settled as pastor of these united churches. It was dnr- ing his pastorate that stoves and a modern pulpit were first used in the Flatlands Church. Mr. Cruikshank On Jan. 18, 1836, resigned in 1834, and died in 1854. a call by the churches of Flatlands and New Lots was made upon Rev. J. Abeel Baldwin, a clergyman of the Presbyterian Church, who continued a successful pastor- ate until June 9th, 1852, when he resigned. Mr. Bald- win still survives. The connection between Flatlands and Now Lots Reformed Dutch Churches terminated with this pastorate, Nov. 24, 1852. Flatlands called Rev. Jolm T. M. Davie ; and, about the same time, New Lots called Rev. John M. Van Buren. Mr. Davie's pastoral and pulpit excellencies were highly appreciated, and were enjoyed until his sudden death, March 8, 1862. On August 4, 1862, the Church ealled Rev. T. Sanford Doolittle, who remained two years, when he was invited to a professorship in Rutgers College, which he still occupies. In May, 1865, Rev. Cornelins Brett, then a recent graduate of the New Brunswick Seminary, was called, and he continued the active and useful pastor of the chinreli until Dee., 1869, when he resigned, having accepted a call to a Reformed Dutch Church in Newark, N. J. He is now pastor of the venerable Church of Bergen, Jersey City. Rev. Anson Du Bois became pas- tor in Dec., 1870, and still retains the position. The church now reports 80 families and 200 members.
M. E. Church of Flatlands .- The Methodist peo- ple had publie preaching in the school-house of District No. 1 for about a year, when, in 1851, James Engle bought of Rem Hageman, a church site for them on Mill lane ; and the present house was built, at a cost of 82,700, by Mr. Youngs, of Flatbush. Mr. Engle was very active, but the carly records of the church were lost, or witheld by his widow. The first preacher [1852-3] was Rev. Thos. H. Burch, now Presiding Elder of the New York District N. Y. East Conference. The parsonage lot wa- bought from John Corey, who had
purchased of Hageman, and the house was built by John Rumph, for $2,300, in 1868. The society has been regularly supplied with preachers since its formation ; and, though small, has been active and useful. It reports 80 members.
Protestant Methodist Church of Canarsie .- 1 Sunday-school of 23 scholars was organized at Canarsie iu 1840, Ralph Van Houten, Superintendent. A Meth. Epis. Church was also constituted that year, of 12 mem- bers, and the meetings held in a private house until a small church costing $500 was built at the corner of Old Road and Church Lane. About 1855 the church became Protestant Methodist, and so remains, The first clinreli building was removed in 1870, and a larger one built upon the same ground. The Protestant Metho- dist Society has had the following Pastors : Revs. Fred. Dickerman, J. J. Smith, Joshua IIndson, John A. Mor- ris, J. Serene, Robert Woodruff, Edwin Jones, R. S. Hulshart, John Painter, II. S. Hall, and J. II. Holden, the present pastor. The good influence of the church has been very marked. It is still growing, with an active pastor and membership.
St. Matthew's Lutheran Church, of Canarsie, of 32 members, was formed in August, 1879, and the cor- ner stone of the church edifice was laid September 11th, 1879. The church cost $4,000. Pastor Fladt, of East New York, served the new society six months ; when Pastor Kuver, the present incumbent, took charge. The Sunday-school numbers 70 scholars.
German Evangelical Reformed Church of Ca- narsie .- In March, 1876, Rev. C. Diekbout, of East New York, labored among the large German population of Canarsie ; and, on the 19th of that month, held public worship in the German School-house. An organization was desired, and the South Classis of Long Island, March 29th, 1876, commissioned Revs. A. Du Bois, D.D., J. HIones and C. F. C. Suckow, and Elder John L. Ryder, to constitute a church there if found advisable. On June 5th, 1876, the committee met a large number of Germans, and a church of 72 members was formed. P. H. Koppf and Christian Schreiber were elected Elders, and Christian Quaritius and Henry Shumaker Deacons. The examination for membership and instal- lation of the Consistory were conducted in German by Rev. Messrs. Hones and Suckow. Rev. C. Diekhout became pastor, and still remains such. The corner stone of a elinreh was laid June 29th, 1877, and the buikling was dedicated November 4th, 1877, at a cost of $5,000. There is a Sabbath-school of 60 pupils, with 150 vol- umes in the library. The pastor has mainly superin- tended the school. The church is self-supporting. pros- perous and growing.
The Common Schools of Flatlands .- The com- mon school in Flatlands probably began with the settle- ment itself. We have found no records touching it earlier than 1675, when it was evidently in a mature and vigorous carcer, under the care of the church elders
SCHOOLS OF FLATLANDS AND CANARSIE.
aud was called "The School of the Town." The first notice we have of it is in regard to a supply of books by the deacons; and entries and bills, of elementary and religious books paid for, appear in their accounts from 1675 for a long period of years, along with every variety and order of expenses.
According to the tradition in our town, and the well- known usages of other Dutch settlements, the school- master was, by virtue of his office, Reader in church, Chorister, and commonly Sexton also. If this be true, we are able to name some of the honored leaders of mental progress in Flatlands from very early times.
The first who claims this honor is Wellem Gerretse (Van Kouwenhoven), 1675 ; the next Jan Brouwer, 1688 ; the third Pieter Tull, 1691, though the fact that he afterward became a pauper does not argue liberality of salary. Varions items were paid " to the schoolmas- ter," for salary and other services, until 1704, when the inenmbent was Martin Schenck, who was also a deacon of the church. Isaac Slover was teacher in 1712; Yan Sudam in 1715 and apparently to 1729 ; when Yohannes Van Siggelon snecceded him. In 1733 Abraham de Lanoy ocenpied the place. His name would indicate that he was French, while his re- ceipts for his salary of £6 a year are written in a bold and elegant English hand. He was doubtless able to teach in English. Isaac Voorhees held the place in 1742 ; Johannes Nevius in 1743 ; Abram Voorhees, 1744-47; Luykas Voorhees, from 1748 to 1752 ; when Derick Remsen served part of a year, and Luykas Voor- hees again, 1755-1757. As no new name ocenrs, it is fair to infer that Voorhees continued to receive the annual salary of £4 from the deacons as chorister, and probably an additional sum from the elders as schoolmaster, until 1768 ; when he was succeeded by Abraham Voorhees, the same probably who had served in 1744-'47, and who now held the position until 1792. This teacher first introduced a stove into the school-house in June, 1789, costing £12, 15s. 6d. We judge the previous win- ter must have been uncommonly cold, and they would no longer trust to an open fire, even though they had to bring in the stove in the first month of summer.
We have assumed that the chorister was also the school teacher, as was the universal custom of the Dutch. But the practice was now falling into disuse. It seems that Thomas Whitlock was employed during the latter years accredited to Abram Voorhees, and that John Baxter, whose journal of daily events, con- tinued by his son Garret, extends from 1790 to 1840, taught the school about 1790. We have also the fol- lowing as Touchers : Peter Labagh, 1792 ; Geo. Parker, 1795 ; Jas. Smith, 1798; Elijah Elwell, 1801 ; Patrick Noon and Hugh MeGarron, 1802; John Burns and Alex. Jolmson, 1804 ; - Cuthbert, 1805 ; - Cas- sidy, 1810; Hugh MeGarron again 1811-16; Tibbets and Blundel taught a short tine; JJames Bolton some years; Esterbrook, Bledsoe, Karley. Topping. and Leach :
Slutson to 127, when Chas, Leach resumed and taught to 1-80 ; Ed. Berry, 1580, when David Ballwin (whose conversion is recorded by his pastor in a tract of the American Tract Society) assimned charge, but retired from ill health ; Albert Smith, 1831 ; Willis, and the same year I. D. Woodworth, now principal of a public school in Brooklyn ; W. S. Webb, 1833 ; and after him E. S. Johnson and Stephen Voorhees ; since whom Messrs. Sutton, Wade, Blake, and Sowles have taught.
The present painstaking and venerated Principal, Voorhees Overbaugh, took charge of this school in 1845. He was then expected to teach from sochy.k a. m. to 4 o'clock p. m., with a noon recess, five days each week, without a vacation of any kind during the whole year. He did not receive a stipulated salary, but a fee per capita on the scholars, and collected his own bills. But he has lived to see the results of his own toil, and more liberal appointments. His bow still "abides in strength," and his skill in teaching the young ideas is unimpaired. Mr. Overbaugh's assistant- have been Miss Sarah M. Hendrickson, Simeon J. Browu. Miss Mary II. C. Lott, Miss Ella L. Overbaugh and Miss Lonise Lush.
