It is noticeable that in this discussion, lasting two years, and to which Mr. Beardsley was a party through- out, there is no reference to the question, which arose later, whether the two hundred acres of commons had been granted to Christ Church only, or to Christ Church and Trinity together.
The commencement of the War of the Revolution closed the matter for the time being, leaving it in an inconclusive state.
Trinity Church, Fishkill, had proceeded to the erec- tion of a church building the year after Mr. Beardsley's settlement. On September 30th, 1767, two months after the acquirement of the glebe at Poughkeepsie, a lot was bought2 "on the road leading to the Fishkill Landing, near the Dutch church," on which was built the substantial frame building that is still standing and in use.
After the Governor's Council had by vote confirmed the title to the glebe, and the occasion for delay was removed, Mr. Beardsley, with characteristic promptness, did not wait for the charter to be signed, but opened a subscription in behalf of the church building needed at Poughkeepsie. Three of these subscription papers, all dated January 1st, 1773, bear the names which have been combined into the following single list:

Lewis Du Bois, "the Land
To Sett the Church on."
The Records of Christ Church
Lewis Du Bois, one of the larger land owners in Pough- keepsie, who was long a contributor to the support of Christ Church, presented the site for the building. His deed1 to the Corporation describes the lot conveyed, as situated in Poughkeepsie, on the Post Road, bounded by the school-house lot on the south and by the land of Jonas Kelsey on the north. Jonas Kelsey was Lewis Du Bois's brother-in-law, and a life-long member of Christ Church.
During the autumn of 1773, the foundation of the church was laid, but it soon became evident that a larger building fund was needed. Mr. Beardsley accordingly went to New York and begged help from men prominent in business and in the Church, who gave him substantial encouragement for his up-country mission. The sub- scription papers, bearing the signatures obtained during this visit, are among the parish manuscripts, and read like a roll call of old New York:

Scattered subscriptions were received in 1774 from Churchmen and non-Churchmen at Poughkeepsie and in various parts of Dutchess County. One of these formed the first legacy ever received by this parish. Charles Crooke, whose country home was the property, near Hyde Park, that is now owned by Thomas Newbold, belonged to a New York family that had been identified with Trinity Church, and represented among its wardens and vestrymen from 1697. Being a strong Churchman, he was one of the earliest and largest contributors to Christ Church, and when he made his will,1 April 25th, 1770, he left £25.0.0, "to be paid to the Church Wardens toward building a Church." His will was proved December 1st, 1772, and his widow, as executrix, paid the legacy, the receipt of which the vestry of

The Records of Christ Church
Christ Church made note of in 1774. Among Charles Crooke's descendants is a well defined tradition that all the heavy timber, used in the construction of the church, was felled in his woods and hauled to Poughkeepsie by his oxen. This gift must have been made by his widow, as he had died when the actual building of the church was begun.
Among the other occasional subscriptions to the build- ing fund were several from members of the Dutch Church, including one from Dominie Hendricus Schoonmaker. The alacrity with which the Dutch congregation joined in all measures for the promotion of the English Church, is traceable not only to the increasing use of the English language, already referred to (and which caused the resignation of Dominie Schoonmaker in 1774, he speaking only Dutch), but to their own internal denominational difficulties. The whole Dutch Reformed Church of America was at this time shaken by a difference of opin- ion upon the validity of ordination as conferred by the assembly of ministers and elders known as "The Rever- end Coetus of New York and New Jersey." The "Coetus" party was opposed by the "Conferentie," which held it necessary for a candidate for the ministry to go to Holland and be ordained by the Classis of Amsterdam. From 1765 to 1774 the united Dutch congregations of Poughkeepsie and Fishkill had two pastors and two consistories, representing the warring factions. The rival ministers preached in either place on alternate Sundays, the dissenting party in each case remaining away from the service.1 This divided condi- tion, combined with the language consideration, turned

many to the English Church, some temporarily, some permanently.
Mr. Beardsley wrote1 from Poughkeepsie to the secre- tary of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel, on April 26th, 1774: -
Rev'd Sir
I beg leave to Inform the Honourable Society that we have at length (through much difficulty) collected by Subscriptions in our own congregation and among our Christian Neighbors (that) which we judge Sufficient to build us a Stone Church 40 by 53 feet in circumference. The Foundation was laid last fall; the walls are now raising; and we expect it will be com- pleated by the last of October.
If the Society would be pleased to bestow a Bible & Common Prayer Book in our New Church (as we have none but what I have provided at my own cost) I am persuaded no people would be more grateful.
We have some time since received a like favour to the Church at Fishkill (a part of this Mission and fifteen miles from hence), for which, & for all other favours, we shall ever retain a deep sense of our obligations to the Society.
I have drawn my Bill of £17.10.0 Sterling in favour of Mr. Jacob Watson, Merchant, at New York.
Since I wrote last I have baptized thirty two white & two black Infants; and I am Rev'd Sir the honourable Society's & your most
obedient most humble Servant John Beardsley.
The Rector's hope that the church would be ready for use by the autumn of 1774 was fulfilled. A consecration service was held on Christmas Day that year, at which the sermon was preached by the Rev. Samuel Provoost.
Mr. Provoost had been connected with Trinity Parish, New York City, but the connection had been 1 Original letter on file in London.

severed, and, in 1774, he was living in retirement with his family near East Camp in the present Columbia County, then a part of the County of Albany. During his stay there, he occasionally visited the parishes at Albany, Catskill, Hudson and Poughkeepsie, in which way it occurred that he was invited to be the preacher when Christ Church was consecrated.
The original manuscript of his sermon on this day was presented to Christ Church in 1888 by James Grant Wilson of New York. The text was taken from St. Luke 7, verse 5,-"For he loveth our nation and he hath built us a Synagogue." Imbedded in a long discourse upon Old Testament ritual, combined with sundry moral reflections, is one paragraph of local interest. It is noticeable in that, that the eighteenth century was as impressed with its own material conveniences and im- provements as is this twentieth, teeming with its oft quoted inventions and developments.
This Place, which less than two centuries ago was either a Desolate Solitary waste, or Inhabited by savages, wild and uncultivated as their Native Country, and immersed in the most deplorable Idolatry and ignorance, is now covered with Buildings, filled with Inhabitants who profess the purest of Religions, and supplied with all the Comforts and conveniences of Life. Indeed, the only want the members of this Congre- gation have for some time labored under, has been that of a place where they might perform the publick offices of their Religion and pay their Devotions to God with decency and order. This defect is now, at last, happily supplied by the care and assiduity of their worthy pastor, and the generous Con- tributions of the Benevolent and Devout; and it will be re- membered to their honour that, whilst some have given out of their abundance, others have spared out of their Industry. All, I hope, have exerted their prayers and wishes for this pious work.
Mr. Provoost's mention of gifts made to the Church
46

out of the industry of the donors, probably has reference to the contributions of the "artificers and workmen" who labored in the erection of the building, whose names are contained in the treasurer's records, and of whom thir- teen joined in subscribing the sum of £18.15.0.
The furnishings of the first church were modest to the point of severity. Pews were not put in until after the Revolution, and the congregation, who, in Mr. Provoost's opinion, possessed "all the comforts and conveniences of Life," must have occupied crude benches. At the east end of the small oblong building was a high pulpit, and before that a reading desk. A committee, consisting of the Rector, Bartholomew Noxon, Richard Davis and John Davis, had been appointed in June, 1774, "to fix the Dementions of the Reading desk and pulpit, and Send the Same to Gabriel William Ludlow in Order to have the hangings Made for them." Mr. Ludlow's wife was a daughter of Mrs. Ann Rutgers Crooke of New York, who had promised the hangings. When these were received, the vestry ordered "that the thanks of this Corporation be given to Mrs. Anake Crooke for her Generous Donation of a Elegant Set of Crimson Damask hangings for the pulpit and desk in Christ Church in Poughkeepsie." A remnant of this crimson damask, framed, was lately given to Christ Church by Miss Julia Crooke, and is now on the wall of the parish house.
The vestry also acknowledged with appreciation, in 1775, that there had been "Presented to Christ Church, by John Moore, Esquire, of New York, a Silver Baker for the Service of the Communion;" "by Mr. Gabriel William Ludlow of New York, two Cups for the Com- munion Service: and likewise a font for the use of the Church;" "by Mr. John Crooke of New York a Table:
47
The Records of Christ Church
Chair: Table Cloath and Napkin, for the Service of the Communion."
This "Table for the Service of the Communion" is said, by a tradition in the Crooke family, to have been one of two, the mate to which is still in existence. The latter is of the design known as a Chippendale card table, which model was introduced about 1720 and went out about 1780; it is of mahogany, with carved cabriole legs and claw and ball feet; the two sections of the top are hinged at the center, so that one half rests on the other, or is leaned up against the wall, when the table is not in use. The pair of tables were family pieces, and there seems to have been no more hesitation on the part of the Church to make use of the former card table for sacred purposes than there was to purchase a "Tickett in ye Kings Bridge Lottery for the Church in Poughkeep- sie," which the treasurer's records show was done, or than to take a negro man in part payment of a debt, which occurred a few years later.
James Rivington of New York donated "A Church Com'n prayer book," and the "Great Bible" was one presented by the Free Masons to Mr. Beardsley, person- ally, which he afterward gave to the Church.1 One surplice was owned, the linen for which was contributed by Captain Peter Harris, and its making by Mrs. Beardsley.2 It is referred to as the "surplus," "Supplus," and "Surplush," in the account books, an annual item for its laundering being gravely entered.
That the church was consecrated before it was entirely finished, and that the completion of the work again exceeded the abilities of the congregation, is evidenced
1 Appendix, Beardsley papers, No. 8, No. 10, No. 16.
2 Appendix, Beardsley papers, No. 16.
48
The Records of Christ Church
by two facts. On January 17th, 1775, Bartholomew Crannell, Richard Davis, and John Davis "Advanced for the Use of the Church the Sum of £200.0.0.," which was applied to that end; and, in April ensuing, £12.12.3 was received from seventeen "of our Christian friends on Long Island," members of the Church of England, at Hempstead, for "finishing" the church.
Plain as was this building, its heavy cost was entailed by its substantial quality. It was of brick, with stone trimmings, and its walls were two feet thick of the most solid masonry possible. When it was razed in 1833, a young girl, watching the workmen, saw the difficulty with which they demolished the walls, and afterwards bore testimony to this effect to her daughter, now living.
Fortunate it was for this parish that it succeeded in building the church before the storm of the Revolution broke. The burden it carried was heavy during and after the war, and had the need for a church been added, the recuperation of the congregation. would have been even slower than it was.
No hint of political disturbances is seen in the Vestry Minutes until June 29th, 1776, that"being the day of one of the stated meetings of the Vestry, but the confused State of the County prevented Vestry from meeting."
Two weeks later, July 13th, 1776, "At a Vestry held to Consider of the Rector's Stoping Divine Service in the Church (In Consequence of Independancy being De- clared by the Continental Congress) Until the Vestry Can hear from the Vestry of New York. Taken the above Affair in Consideration Resolved that the Rector do from this time Stop all Divine Service in the Church untill word Can be had from the Rector of New York or from a Convention of the Clergy." "The Remainder of
49
The Records of Christ Church
the Quaterly meetings of this year was not held by Reason of troublous times."
Mr. Beardsley's rectorate virtually ended with the suspension of church services; he continued to occupy the glebe, but no salary was paid him.
Possession of the Hudson River valley in 1777 became the pivot of the military campaign; New York City was occupied by the British, and Burgoyne threatened the headwaters, while, in October, General Vaughn sailed up the river and burned Kingston. Excitement ran high in the several towns and lines of cleavage were sharply drawn. In just what way Mr. Beardsley incur- red the disapproval and suspicion of the Whigs at Pough- keepsie neither public nor parish records disclose; but his Tory sympathies were strong, and his personality positive, and it was inevitable that a break should come.
December 5th, 1777, the Council of Safety, sitting at Hurley, resolved1 "that Peter Tappen and Andrew Billings, Esqrs., Assistant Commissioners of Conspiracies, be authorized and directed to cause the Revd. Mr. Bardsley and Henry Vandenbergh, with their families (male servants and slaves excepted), to be removed to the city of New York, and to permit them to take with them their wearing apparel, and necessary bedding, and provisions for their passage, and no other goods or effects whatsoever."
An attempt was made by Tappen and Billings to have the severity of this order mitigated, family connection forming a strong factor in favor of the Rector. Mr. Beardsley's first wife died soon after they came to Poughkeepsie, and he had married, second, Bartholomew Crannell's daughter, Gertrude. Her sister, Elizabeth,

was the wife of Peter Tappen, one of the Commissioners ordered to remove Mr. Beardsley, and her sister Cath- erine's husband, Gilbert Livingston, was one of the most influential Whigs in Poughkeepsie.
But the Council of Safety returned the following decisive answer to the Commissioners:1
In Council of Safety Hurley, 11th Decr. 1777.
Gentlemen-
The Council of Safety are surprised you should be at a loss to determine the two questions you have raised on Messrs. Birdsley and Vandenbergh's case.
With respect to the question whether they are at liberty to sell effects to pay just debts due to the inhabitants, it is evi- dent they can have no such indulgence; for. besides the danger of covering their property by sale and payment of feigned debts, all the property they are to leave behind must be sub- ject to disposition by the authority of the State.
In that case, honest creditors can be no losers; because there is justice enough in Government to discharge the demands of such creditors, as far as the property left behind will extend. Besides, to permit them to sell their effects, and pay debts at their discretion, would be the most direct means to enable them to defraud their honest creditors.
With respect to such effects as are claimed to be the property of Mr. Birdsley's children, the Council are of opinion that they can not be considered as exempted from seizure, because the father, who is an enemy to the State, can not be the proper guardian of their effects, especially as he is no longer a sub- ject of this State, and is on the point of being sent out of it.
If the children should, hereafter, become subjects of this State, and can make out their title to the moneys arising from the sale of the goods claimed in their behalf, those moneys will be found in the treasury to answer their demand in a course of equity.
In short, as you are to send off the two families, except male servants and slaves, and to permit them only to take off their wearing apparel and necessary bedding and provisions for

their passage, and no other goods or effects whatsoever, the express terms of the resolution of the 5th inst. might, we con- ceive, with a little attention, have removed all doubt.
With respect to the dangerous seeds of faction, which you suppose are springing up at Poughkeepsie, the Council hopes that the removal of the two disaffected persons, above men- tioned, will be an effectual means of preventing their growth, especially, as, in addition to this reason, it appears that the two ringleaders have delivered themselves up, with marks of great penitence. However, we think this matter properly lies with the committee, who may bail or commit them at their discretion.
We are, gentn. Your humble servts. To Andw. Billings and Peter Tappen, Esqrs. Poughkeepsie.
Governor Clinton, at Poughkeepsie, issued on Decem- ber 13th the permit1 for the removal of Mr. Beardsley, his wife and five children, with wearing apparel, bedding, and provisions for their passage; they were to be taken to New York on a sloop commanded by Captain Robert North, and the sloop, captain and crew were to return to Poughkeepsie unmolested.
Mr. Beardsley's own view of his removal, as expressed2 by him many years later, was, that, "As I did not remove from Poughkeepsie to New York and Join the British Side of my own accord, but went by Constraint, being Sent away by the powers then prevailing, I was not considered in the light of those who left their home of Choice, and therefore no attainder was ever made out against me."
December 14th, 1777, the Vestry Minutes record that, "by Order of the Council of Safety the Rev'd Mr. John Beardsley, Rector, was Removed to New York, and
