HISTORY OF MARLBOROUGH.
MILITIA.
After the War of the Revolution, a militia com- pany of cavalry was organized in 1804, under the command of William Acker. It was composed of Marlborough and Newburgh men, and Nathaniel DuBois served several years as Captain; the last Captain was Robert D. Mapes of Marlborough.
In 1823 David W. Woolsey of Marlborough was commissioned a Captain in the 14th Regiment of In- fantry; William Martin was Captain of a company; some other companies or parts of companies were or- ganized in the town at different times. In November, 1867, C. M. Woolsey was commissioned and served as Commissary First Lieutenant of the 20th Regiment, N. Y. State Militia until the regiment was disbanded.
The first militia company of the Precinct of High- land, which embraced what is now our town, was or- ganized in 1737 under command of Captain Thomas . Ellison. Jeuriah Quick and Thomas Quick, who re- sided here, were members of this organization, and I think also John Young, who was Ensign of this. company.
Stephen Nottingham was afterward (1758) Captain of this company or of one that was organized a few year thereafter. He was among the first supervisors. of the town.
Isaac Purdy was Lieutenant in 1761; Nathaniel Potter had been a Lieutenant, and in 1786 he was Cap- tain, which position he held for several years, also in 1798; David Ostrander, in what is now Plattekill, was Captain in 1786; Anning Smith was Captain in 1786 and for several years thereafter, resigning in 1799; Nathaniel Kelsey was Lieutenant, and in 1800 he was Captain ; Nathaniel Harcourt was Ensign, 1786, Lieu- tenant, 1799; Nathaniel DuBois was Ensign; John Bond, Captain, 1792 and for some years afterward;

Michael Wygant, Lieutenant, 1792, and for several years, and was Captain in 1803; Joseph Morey, En- sign, 1792; Ludlam Smith, Ensign, 1800; John Wood, Lieutenant, 1800; Zadoe Lewis, Ensign, 1815, after- ward Lieutenant, Captain in 1820, Major in 1821 and for many years following; Abram D. Soper, Lieuten- ant, 1820, Captain, 1821; William Woolsey, Lieuten- ant, 1811, Captain, 1815, Major, 1817; Richard Har- court, Lieutenant, 1808, Captain, 1809; David Staples, Ensign, 1811, Captain 1815; Nehemiah L. Smith, Captain, 1809, resigned, 1815; Valentine Lewis, Lieu- tenant ; Daniel Lester, Lieutenant; John W. Wygant, Lieutenant ; Samuel Stilwell, 1823, Quartermaster (1st Lieutenant) of 130th Regiment, also in 1827, aid-de- camp to the commander of the 23d Brigade.
These appointments were all under the old militia system, when every able-bodied man between certain ages was liable to military duty. They were armed and equipped and had general training days, which were quite an event in the community and many availed themselves of the opportunity to witness the spectacle.

CHAPTER XIII.
THE PRESBYTERIAN SOCIETY AND CHURCH.
Many of the earlier settlers of this town and the neighborhoods south, which are now Newburgh and Middlehope, were Presbyterians. They were zealous in their faith and early sought some means of wor- ship. About 1750 they formed among themselves a union for the worship of God after the forms of the ancient church, which they named the Marlborough Society. This was the oldest religious organization in what is now the Town of Marlborough and vicinity. The church edifice which they erected in the year 1764 was the first Presbyterian church in the county, the society having been organized January 1, 1764. The church then built was a small building about 25 x 35 feet, and its entire cost was about £125. This was in addition to the work, material, etc., furnished by the people. As the organization increased in numbers, some repairs were made to the house of worship in 1787 and 1792. About 1824 the church was enlarged to double its former size, painted and made much more attractive. This building answered all pur- poses until about 1856, when it was repaired and en- larged, repainted and made attractive and convenient. In 1859 the first bell was put in the tower of the church, and it was a source of much pride and gratifi- cation to the people. The building was burned in 1869, and the present large and commodious church, located upon a new site, was erected the following year at the cost of about $33,000. It is a handsome and substantial structure with steeple and bell and will seat 600 or more people, and has a large Sunday- school library. A certificate was recorded in the Ulster County Clerk's office, June 27, 1785, incor-

porating the society. A further certificate of incor- poration was executed May 14, 1795, which was signed by Thurston Wood, deacon, and by Isaac Fowler, as inspectors of the election held. The meeting was called by Rev. Abel Jackson, then minister, and the trustees chosen were Reuben Tooker, Michael Wygant, Jr., and Andrew Ely. Another certificate was exe- cuted March 29, 1850, and was signed by Thomas D. Bloomer and Peter V. B. Fowler. The trustees chosen were James Wygant, Charles E. Bingham, John Bloomer, James O. Conklin, Chauncey Wygant, and Barnard Bailey ; recorded October 1, 1850. The church originally had galleries as was usual in those times. It appears to have kept up its organization and ser- vices during all the trying years of the Revolution; and after its conclusion, animated with zeal, they commenced in 1786 a subscription to pay for the ser- vices of the minister, which was signed by ninety men, being nearly one-half of the male heads of families in the town at that time. The £90 raised amounted to about $400, equivalent to five times that amount at the present day, and very liberal for those times.
Up to July, 1776, forty-five infants had been bap- tized; up to December, 1782, ninety; up to 1800 about two hundred. The record of marriages from the earliest organization to the present time are full and complete, having been kept with much care, and are several hundred in number. This church society has seen the rise and progress of this place from a wilder- ness to a town of cultivated fields; from a sparsely settled, poor and struggling people, to a rich and populous township. One generation after another has been born here, baptized at this church, married and been buried. The great good it has done, the teachings it has proclaimed are beyond any estimate which the present generation may make. While the history of the ancient Christian organizations

throughout the country are being written up and treasured, let not the grand old organization of the Presbyterian society of Marlborough be forgotten! No prouder name can be found, no more worthy or- ganization named!

358
HISTORY OF MARLBOROUGH.
For about ten years after Mr. Jackson left, the church was without any settled minister. During this time the pulpit was supplied by Isaac Sargeant, Wm. Bull, Ambrose Porter, Richard Andrews, Joel T. Benedict, and others all of the same ecclesiastical order as Mr. Jackson. Mr. Bull, who supplied the pulpit for some length of time, was an Englishman, exceedingly eccentric, and very prolix in his perform- ances. He was a bachelor; and sometimes in the family where he boarded, continued so long in prayer at family worship that all deserted him. At a funeral he was known to protract his address till interrupted and admonished that it would be too dark to bury the dead. Mr. Benedict is said to have been a man of ardent piety, untiring zeal, and much eloquence, and to have drawn large congregations to listen to his preaching.
So far there had never been any special awakening of the church. The whole number that had been ad- mitted to the church. up to 1808, was 71, of whom 53 were still members.
Being wearied with difficulties growing out of their Church government, and discouraged about obtain- ing permanent supplies of their present denomina- tion, in 1809 the people began to turn their attention to the Presbyterian Church. Mr. Jas. I. Ostram, a candidate for the gospel ministry, under the care of the Presbytery of Hudson, occasionally attended religious meetings among them for some months. They also obtained some supplies from that Presby- tery. In April, 1810, they applied by their commis- sioners, Charles Millard and Leonard Smith, to be taken under the care of the Hudson Presbytery. At the same meeting of the Presbytery, Mr. Ostram was licensed to preach the Gospel, and on the first Sabbath thereafter agreed to accept a call from this people, in connection with the congregation of New Paltz. He
359
THE PRESBYTERIAN SOCIETY AND CHURCH.
labored among them as a licentiate till September, when he was ordained and installed over them by the Presbytery of Hudson.
In October, 1811, a special season of divine influence began in this congregation and continued till the fol- lowing spring, adding to the church 116 members. During the period of this work nothing special ap- peared in Paltz, although within six miles, and enjoy- ing precisely the same means of grace; illustrating most clearly the sovereignty of divine grace, and teaching us that the Lord " will have mercy on whom he will have mercy." About the middle of February, 1820, it pleased the Lord to visit them with another revival, which added to the church 150 more, 90 in a single day, of whom 60 had not been before baptized.
Being thus increased in numbers, and having en- larged their house of worship to double its former size, in 1827 the congregation was separated from that of Paltz, the pastoral relation of Mr. Ostram to Paltz dissolved, and his labors confined to Marlborough. Here he continued his ministry till March, 1829, when, having accepted a call from the church in Salina, his relation to this church was dissolved.
