At a meeting of the town officers May 19th, 1821, Charles A. Shaw was appointed "a discreet and proper person" to take the census. He returned the following statistics: Population, 2,300; electors, 431; taxable property, $547.106.
An extensive freighting business was done at the Lower Landing (near the present freight house of the Hudson River Railroad) about the close of the eighteenth century. Jonathan Owen operated two sloops between this point and New York; one sailed by Captain David Braman, and the other by Captain David Wickes. After 1807 James Wilson succeeded Owen in this business.
Richard de Cantillon gave his name to the Upper Landing. His sloops sailed as far south as the West Indies, to which he shipped great quantities of corn in exchange for sugar and rum. In 1770 he married Mary, daughter of Tobias, the eldest son of the first Jacobus Stoutenburgh.
Peter de Reimer and his son-in-law, Robert Gilbert Livingston, suc- ceeded de Cantillon in business at the Upper Landing. Later William Ellsworth and Miles Fletcher operated the line. The barge "Lex- ington," made weekly trips to New York, from 1840 until the rail- road was built.
The eastern part of the town adjoining Pleasant Valley and Clin- ton was settled at an early day by Quakers from New England and Long Island. Among them were the Marshalls, Bakers, Briggs,

Hoags, Halsteads, Moshers, Stringhams, Watters, Lamorees, Nel- sons and Williams. The Friends' house of worship here was for many years called the "Crom Elbow Meeting House," erected about the year 1774. The early members have long since passed away, leaving their descendants to unite with and to conform to the manners and discipline of other sects.
On the west border of the town, overlooking the Hudson, are sev- eral magnificent country seats of families prominent in the social and business world. The most southern of these is the residence of John A. Roosevelt, a descendant of James Roosevelt, who owned Mount Hope, now the property of the Hudson River State Hospital. Near Teller Hill was the house of Moses S. Beach, now owned by Mr. Weben- dorfer. Further north are the estates of Mrs. James Roosevelt and J. R. Roosevelt, the latter also a descendant of James Roosevelt of Mount Hope.
"Belfield," now the home of Hon. Thomas Newbold, originally be- longed to the Crook family, descendants of one of the original Nine Partners. It was subsequently in possession of the Kneelands, Judge Johnston, and his grandson, Dr. F. U. Johnston. North of "Belfield" is an estate which has been in the possession of Mr. Archibald Rogers for the past twenty years. In 1842 it was owned by Elias Butler who gave the place the name of "Crumwold." The houses of Dudley B. Fuller and General James J. Jones now form part of this immense estate. The Miller and Hoffman families also lived on this property.
Adjoining Hyde Park village on the north is the country seat of Mr. F. W. Vanderbilt, who purchased this property in 1895. This is the estate to which the name of "Hyde Park" originally applied, and which was for many years the home of Dr. John Bard and his son Samuel, both of whom erected dwellings on the premises. In 1827 the estate of Hyde Park was purchased by Dr. David Hosack, an eminent New York physician, who greatly improved the property, planting many rare and beautiful trees. He built the "Farm House," long the home of John A. De Graff ; also the bridge on the drive from the south entrance to the place. Dr. Hosack died in 1835, and the estate was sold to Walter Langdon, Sr. His wife, Dorothea, was a daughter of John Jacob Astor. Their son Walter inherited and occu- pied the estate to the time of his death, September 17, 1894. Mr. Vanderbilt, the present owner, removed the Langdon house, and built

a stone mansion, considered the finest example of Italian renaissance in this country.
Nathaniel Pendleton, a native of Virginia, married Susan, daughter of John Bard, and built a residence north of the Bard place, known as "Placentia." Their eldest son, Edward H., inherited the property. He was elected to Congress, and was County Judge. "Placentia" was long the home of James K. Paulding, a name intimately associated with that of Washington Irving. It was also the home of N. Pendle- ton Rogers. It is now owned by J. S. Huyler.
Cyrus Braman bought lots 2 and 3 of the Hyde Park patent. The estate was known as "Belgrove." This property was subsequently conveyed to William Ellsworth, who married Ruth, daughter of Cyrus Braman. After the death of Mr. Ellsworth, it passed into the hands of Mr. N. P. Rogers.
The Rymph family have been landowners in this section for a longer period than any other except the Bards. November 10th, 1768, John Bard sold to George Rymph lot No. 5 of the Hyde Park patent, con- taining 215 acres. It is now the property of James Rymph, grand- son of George; the latter died in 1791, leaving a wife and ten children.
The Broughtons were the original settlers of the Inwood property. The will of Francis Broughton, dated October 22, 1790, leaves the place to his son Joseph. In 1809 Joseph Broughton sold that part of his farm west of the post road to Rev. John McVickar. The Mc- Vickars sold "Inwood" to Alfred L. Pell, who in turn sold it to Rob- ert M. Livingston. The place finally passed into the hands of Alex- ander H. Wickes. It is now owned by Hon. Francis G. Landon.
STAATSBURGH, a village in the northern part of the town, derives its name from the Staats family, who settled here about 1720. Other early settlers were the Hughes, Mulford and Russell families. Here was the residence of General Morgan Lewis, the second son of Francis Lewis, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. He was born in New York city in 1754, and graduated from Princeton in "73. During the Revolutionary War young Lewis was Major of a company of volunteers which entered the Continental service as the Second New York. He was appointed Quarter-master General of the Northern Department of the Army, and was mentioned in reports for bravery at Bemis Heights. In 1778 and '80 he was with General Clin- ton. At the close of the war he was admitted to the bar. He repre-

sented New York City in the Assembly, and soon after Dutchess Coun- ty, to which he had removed. He was next elected Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, and in 1791 was appointed Attorney General of the State. In 1792 he was raised to the Bench of the Supreme Court, and next year became Chief Justice. In 1804 he was elected Gover- nor of the State of New York. During the War of 1812 he was made a Major General and served throughout the campaign on the Canadian frontier.
General Morgan Lewis, in 1779, married Gertrude, daughter of Robert. Livingston. He died in 1844 in the ninetieth year of his age. For many years he was one of the wardens of St. James' Church, Hyde Park, and is buried in the churchyard. His estate at Staatsburgh is now owned by his great-granddaughter, Mrs. Ogden Mills. Among his descendants still resident at Staatsburgh is the family of the late Lydig M. Hoyt.
North. of this property is "The Locusts," the estate of the late Wil- liam B. Dinsmore, now owned by his widow and children. Since 1857 this estate has been under the general supervision of Timothy Herrick, who at different times has served the town as Supervisor.
In the village. of Staatsburgh is situated St. Margaret's Church. This was formerly a mission, or rather a part of the Parish of St. James, and not until the rectorship of Dr. Cady did it become an independent parish. A Methodist Church and St. Paul's Roman Catholic Church are also situated here.
In 1858 Mr. J. H. Bodenstein established in Staatsburgh a shop for the manufacture of ice cutting implements. The plant has been enlarged at different times, and is now conducted by his son, John G. Bodenstein.
SCHOOLS. In 1806 Captain David Braman taught school in the stone house opposite the gateway of D. S. Miller. The first district school was built soon after this time, nearly opposite the house of Andrew Phillips. The teacher was William Prince Williams. A larger building was erected in 1829 on the corner of Albany and Al- bertson streets. In 1869 a two-story brick school house was built in front of the old one.
Benjamin Allen, LL.D., was long at the head of a classical school at this place which he opened about 1815. A few years later Miss Aletha Gibbs opened a boarding and day school for girls, which was

considered as being one of the best of that day, and with Dr. Allen's nearby, gave Hyde Park an enviable reputation for educational ad- vantages.
Others who had private schools here in later years were Miss Emily Nelson, Joel Nelson, Evan T. Griffiths, Wesley Doughty, Miss Anna Phillips, Miss Ellen Wallace, Miss Catharine A. Cooly.
The Bard Infant School was founded according to the provisions of the will of Miss Susan Mary Bard, dated August 4th, 1831. She left the interest of $4,000 in trust for its maintenance. The trustees bought a lot from the heirs of Joshua Laurence, and erected a frame building, and the school was conducted successfully for many years, the income being sufficient inducement for a competent teacher. After the school was discontinued the room was used for St. James' Guild. A public reading room and library was established by the Guild and is now supported by the parish.
CHURCHES. In 1780 there was formed in Hyde Park the Stouts- burgh Religious Association. Its members were composed of ad- herents of the Church of England, and of the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church. An agreement was made to this effect, that any min- ister of any orthodox church whose services could be procured should be allowed to preach before the association and friends, and that when- ever either Dutch or English felt that they alone could support a minister of their own persuasion, that party was to receive the church building and all other property belonging to the association, and a church should be established and worship continued according to the rites and forms of the prevailing party.
The old Reformed Dutch Church stood south of the graveyard where now stands the chapel of the Reformed Church. It was a frame building painted red, and looked very much like a barn. A great sounding board was over the pulpit. There were no buildings between the church and the East Road. Among Dutchess County deeds is found this record: "Monday, December 21st, 1789, Election at the Church of Stoutsburgh in the County of Dutchess of Trustees for the Society called the Stoutsburgh Religious Society,-Elected: John Stoutenburgh, Sr., Isaac Conklin, Thomas Banker, Joshua Nelson, Jacob Schryver, John A. Lee." The Society continued until the early part of the nineteenth century, when the Dutch organized a church and received, as per agreement, the church edifice and all other

church property. The present building was erected in 1826. The list of pastors is as follows: Cornelius Brower, of Poughkeepsie, sup- plied the church from 1794-1812, and was in full charge from 1812- 1815. Peter S. Wynkoop officiated from 1817-'20, and had charge of Hyde Park, and Pleasant Plains 1820-'22. Ferdinand H. Van Der Veer, 1823-'29. William Cahoone, 1829-'33. Simon D. Westfall, 1834-'37. He was the first one to live in the present parsonage, which was built in 1833. Next came John C. Cruikshank, 1837-'43. Anthony Elmendorf, 1843-'48. William H. Ten Eyck, 1848-'53. Henry Dater, 1853-'77. George R. Garrettson was installed Feb- ruary 19, 1878, and was succeeded by Rev. Cornelius R. Blauvelt, 1880-'83. Rev. Frank E. Kavanagh, September 26, 1883-'84. He was of Irish extraction and was at first intended for the priesthood. He married a niece of Bishop Niles and became a member of the Epis- copal Church, then a Presbyterian minister, and then Reformed Dutch. His ministry here, owing to his eccentricities, was very brief. Rev. John F. Shaw was installed November 11, 1885. He resigned Feb- ruary Ist, 1893. Rev. John F. Harris was installed June 27, 1893, and served until 1898. Soon after he died. The Rev. Mr. Hamlin served from 1898 to 1908, and was succeeded by the present pastor, the Rev. Mr. Ficken.
In 1811 there were some fifty members of the Episcopal Church living in Hyde Park. It was decided to build a house of worship. Dr. Samuel Bard gave the central part of the present churchyard for the purpose. The church was erected in 1811 by subscription. The Bard family were the largest contributors. Other contributors were the following: Gov. Morgan Lewis, who contributed, besides money, a "Pew" in St. Paul's Church, New York; John McVicker, William Bard, John Johnston, Sarah Barton, Magdalen Murisson, T. de Can- tillon, Jacob Bush, Jotham Post, Samuel Mead, Hunting Sherrill, Richard de Cantillon, Tobias Stoutenburgh, L. Ring, Timothy Steven- son, Titus Dutton, Reuben Spencer, N. Pendleton, Baron S. Hutchins, Isaac Russell, Cyrus Braman, George Gillespie, James Duane Livings- ton, Christopher Hughes, David Mulford, Lemuel Hyde and others. The edifice was built of brick and stone. It had a short, square tower at the west end. Inside, the ceiling, walls and woodwork were white. On the wall was a tablet to the memory of Dr. John Bard. Later were added tablets to the memory of Dr. Samuel and Mrs. Mary Bard, and Nathaniel Pendleton.

At a meeting of the congregation held on the 30th day of March, 1812, the rector, Rev. John McVicker, presiding, the following per- sons were unanimously elected as wardens and vestrymen of the par- ish: Wardens, Dr. Samuel Bard and Morgan Lewis; vestrymen, John Johnston, Nathaniel Pendleton, William Broome, William Bard, Christopher Hughes, James D. Livingston, Titus Dutton, William Duer. At this meeting it was resolved that St. James' Church at Hyde Park, should be the name by which the church should be known.
About 1843 it was found that the church needed a new roof, and that other repairs were necessary. A committee appointed advised taking down the church and rebuilding it. This plan was adopted and in 1844 a new church, but substantially the old church, was rebuilt on the same site. During the time that changes were made services were held in the rectory, on the north side of the church, which had been built in 1835. The mural tablets were replaced, and two others, to the memory of Morgan Lewis and William Bard, were added. Dr. Daniel Hosack increased the churchyard by giving land on the south end. In 1873 Mr. Walter Langdon gave a large addition on the east.
The rectors of St. James' Church from its organization in 1811, when the parish was received into union with the diocese of New York, have been as follows: Rev. John McVicker, D.D., Rev. David Brown, Rev. Samuel Roosevelt Johnson, Rev. Reuben Sherwood, D.D., Rev. Horace Stringfellow, D.D., Rev. James S. Purdy, D.D., Rev. Phi- lander K. Cady, D.D., Rev. R. H. Gesner, Rev. A. T. Ashton, D.D.
THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH was built in 1833, upon ground given by John Albertson, Sr. The first Board of Trustees was com- posed of Joseph Williams John Giles, William Armstrong, Alonzo F. Selleck and Henry S. Backus. Mr. A. F. Selleck, a local preacher, held services here in 1829, and continued until 1834. He afterward became a useful member of the New York Conference. In 1835 Rev. Denton Keeler occupied the pulpit of this church. In 1840 John Al- bertson, Jr., presented the trustees of the church a lot adjoining it, for a parsonage. The building which cost $2,200 was not erected until 1856, at which time Rev. A. C. Fields was pastor. In 1896, during the pastorate of Rev. E. Miles, the old church was removed and the present edifice built.
A sketch of the Roman Catholic Church, which is in charge of Rev. J. P. Lonergan, will be found in a subsequent chapter.
362

THE BAPTIST CHURCH was organized at the house of Garret P. Lansing, April 18, 1844, and the church built in 1846. Mrs. Susan Van Wagner was a large contributor. Rev. David Morris was the first pastor. He was succeeded by Rev. Charles Van Loon of the First Baptist Church of Poughkeepsie, who officiated as "a supply." Services were held very unfrequently, as many of the active members moved away. Some years ago Mr. John S. Huyler purchased the building and fitted it up as a gymnasium under the auspices of the Methodist Church.

TOWN OF LA GRANGE.
CHAPTER XXIII.
THE TOWN OF LA GRANGE.
T HE territory comprising the town of La Grange was formed from portions of the towns of Fishkill and Beekman, Feb- ruary 9, 1821, under the name of Freedom. A strip of about five thousand acres was taken from it March 1, 1827, to form part of the town of Union Vale.
. The town is bounded on the north by Pleasant Valley ; east by Union Vale and Beekman; south by Wappinger and East Fishkill, and on the west by the town of Poughkeepsie, from which it is separated by Wappinger Creek. The area thus embraced comprises 25,443 acres, mainly devoted to agriculture. The original description of the bounds reads as follows :
"That part of the town of Fishkill, lying north of a line commencing at the fording place on the Wappingers Creek, nigh the house of the late Samuel Thorne, deceased, from thence running easterly to the division line between Fishkill and Beekman towns, ten chains southerly of the house formerly owned by - Palmer and now in part occupied by John Arthur; and 'all that part of the town of Beekman lying west of a line commencing at the point on the division line between Fishkill and Beekman, where the east and west line aforesaid in Fishkill will inter- sect said division line of Beekman and Fishkill, running from thence north- easterly to a point two chains distance due east from the northeast corner of the house of Seneca Vail, built by Dr. Soffin (provided it includes the house of Elisha C. Barlow, if not, thence commencing at the point aforesaid, and running from thence to and including the house of Nicholas Tyce; from thence to the point aforesaid, two chains distance, due east from the northeast corner of the house of the said Seneca Vail), from thence on either of the courses last aforesaid, as may be determined by actual survey, to the Washington town line."
The act authorizing the erection of the town, directed that the first town meeting be held at the house of William Wolven, on the first Tuesday in April, 1821, at which the following officers were elected: John Wilkinson, Supervisor; John Clapp, Clerk; Isaac B. Clapp, Silas Pettit, Reuben Tanner, Israel Fowler, and John Van de Belt, Assessors ; Leonard Nelson, Collector ; John Billings, Mynard B. Velie,
364
THE COUNTY OF DUTCHESS.
Overseers of the Poor; Baltus Velie, Elias Vale and Henry Dates, Commissioners of Highways; Ezekiel Velie, John D. Brown and John G. Dunkin, Commissioners of Schools ; James Congdon, John G. Dun- kin, Samuel Petit, Henry D. Sleight, Thomas H. Potter, and Avery L. Herrick, Inspectors of Common Schools; Jacob Culver, Daniel Stillwell, James Coles and Peter Hageman, Constables.
The name of Freedom was given to the town by Enoch Dorland, a Quaker preacher. As this name caused confusion in the delivery of mail, it was changed in 1829, by the Board of Supervisors, to La Grange, after the ancestral estate in France of the Marquis d' La- fayette.
Settlement in the southern part of the town began as early as 1754, and the names of Shear, Clapp, Brundage, Swade, Dean, Weeks, and Townsend are recorded among the pioneers. Arthursburg and "Morey's Corners," now La Grangeville, were early neighborhoods. The families of Ver Valin, De Groff, Sleight, Nelson and Cornell set- tled in the western part of the town previous to the Revolution.
The following is the inscription on a field stone in La Grange Rural Cemetery, near Manchester: "I. V. Died Dbr. 12, 1762." This is the earliest known grave in this cemetery, and is supposed to mark the burial place of Isaack Ver Valin, as other members of the family are buried nearby. A mile north of the cemetery stands the Sleight homestead, built in 1798 by James Sleight, son of Abram and Ariantj (Elmendorf) Sleight, and now occupied by their descendants. James Sleight was a soldier in the Revolution, served through three cam- paigns, and took part in several of the battles of that struggle. Reu- ben Nelson, Jr., was an innkeeper at Manchester. His hotel was located on the property now owned by the Van Wyck family, de- scendants of Theodorus Van Wyck, of Fishkill, an active patriot in the Revolution, and prominent in the official affairs of the county at that period.
Grist mills and fulling mills were in operation within the present town limits before the close of the eighteenth century. Moses De Groff owned the mill at Manchester; Stephen Moore operated one at Moore's Mills, and John and Daniel Hosier built another at Morey's Corners. Jacob Morey, from whom the hamlet received its name, was a black- smith by trade; he also conducted a tavern for several years. Upon the meadow just south of Morey's Corners, during the Revolution,

was an encampment of a Tory band, which took part in the raid upon Washington Hollow in the summer of 1777. This field has since been known as the "Camp lot."
In the latter part of the eighteenth century, Jonah Coshire and his squaw, Lydia, two pure blooded Schaghticoke Indians, a branch of the once powerful Pequod tribe, settled on a ridge in the north part of the town. This couple and their children, Steve and Han- nah, became known as "the Jonahs," and their few acres of rough land was termed "Jonah's Manor."

Steve lived here until his death, after which Hannah lived many years, having a home with one of the families of the neighborhood, her services being much in demand as a nurse in sickness throughout the surrounding country. The Jonahs possessed, or claimed to possess, knowledge of an herb that was a certain antidote to the poison from the fangs of the copperhead and rattlesnake, but nothing could ever induce them to divulge the secret, which was carried to the grave about thirty years ago, with the remains of Hannah Jonah, the last of the Schaghticokes of Dutchess County.
We are indebted to Mrs. Sarah Chatterton, of Newburgh, N. Y., for the accompanying portrait of Hannah Jonah. Mrs. Chatterton had knowledge of Hannah for many years, and can vouch for the photograph as being authentic.
The oldest religious organization in the town is that of the Society of Friends of Arthursburg. At this place was built a Friends meet- ing house, and Oswego monthly meetings were held here as early as 1761. Samuel Dorland and wife, Allen Moore and wife and Andrew Moore are recorded as being present at this meeting. Several Quaker families resided in this vicinity. Following the division in the Society in 1828 the Hicksites built a meeting house at Moore's Mills, where meetings are regularly held.
The Methodists were next in the field in missionary work, but the Presbyterians were first in organizing a church, which they did at Freedom Plains in 1828.
The records of the Presbyterian Church of Freedom Plains state that "On the 26th of July, 1827, sundry persons of Freedom did meet at the house of Mary Nelson and chose the following trustees: Ben- jamin H. Conklin, Baltus Overacker, Eleazer Taylor, Baltus Velie, Rickertson Collins, John D. Brown, Abram S. Storm, Isaac B. Clapp and John Clapp."
The church was regularly organized on the 14th of May, 1828, by the following committee, appointed by the Presbytery of the North River, viz. : Messrs. John Clark, James P. Ostrom and Alonzo Welton. The organization took place in the barn of Baltus Overacker, with thirty-nine members. Benjamin H. Conklin, Baltus Overacker, Abram S. Storm and Samnel Thurston were elected elders, and Eleazer Tay- lor and Henry Disbrow, deacons. Services were held in the barn dur- ing the most of that year, and the church edifice was completed in the
