VAN WVCK BRINKEKHOFF. To present anything more than a brief sketch or outline of some prominent historic incidents connected with the Town of Fishkill, is all that will he attempted in this article, designed to accompany the forthcoming new and first Directory of the Town. That such a work, in a town containing, it is true, large and flourish- ing manufacturing interests, beautiful and thriving villages; but nevertheless all of them so disconnected from each other, should al- ready have received so large and liberal a subscription in advance of its publication, speaks well for the public spirit and enterprise of its inhabitants. The Town of Fishkill embraces within its present boundaries, the south western portion of Dutchess county. The Hudson River Hows along its western side, and the County of Putnam bounds its southern boarders. It is situated sixty miles due north from Xew York City. The Hudson River and the Hudson River Railroad both afford easy and speedy access to the commerical emporium of the whole country. The Boston, Hartford and Erie Railroad will soon, it is believed, pass through the Town, having its most important depot at its connection with the Hudson River Railroad, on the east shore of the river. For beauty of scenery, salubrity of climate, fertility of soil, richness and productiveness of its farms and manufactories, it may not be deemed invidious to say that it is unsurpassed, if indeed equaled, by any other section of the country, however favored. Pleasure seekers have been charmed with its mountains and vallies. Invalids have breathed its pure mountain air, and been refreshed with a new life. No pesti- lential nor noxious diseases infest its boarders. The character too and enterprise of its inhabitants are justly deserving of consideration. — For it may be borne in mind that whatever natural advantages any »1 HI8T0RY OF FISHKILL. country may possess, the men make the country and not the country the men. The early history of the Town of Fishkill is connected with the general history of the county, and can only he reached by resolving some of the changes which it has undergone. This is in fact its his- tory. Its histoiy anterior to 1682 belongs to the red men of the country. There is no positive knowledge that up to this time any white man had ever set foot upon its soil. Before passing to notice the early history of the Town itinay be well to remark that this section had been the favorite home of the red men, probably for ages. This, too, more than any other spot, was the home of their Priests. Here they performed their incantations and ministered at their Altars. Mr. Broadhead thus alludes to them in his history of New York : "It would seem that the neighboring Indians esteemed the peltries of the Fishkill as charmed by the incantations of the aboriginal enchanters who lived along its banks, and the beautiful scenery in which those ancient Priests of the Highlands dwelt is thus invested Avith new poetic associations." Dunlap, in his history of New York, speaks of them as occupying the Highlands, called by them Kittatenny Moun- tains. Their principal settlement, designated Wiccapee, was situated in the vicinity of Antony's Nose. Here, too, lived the Wappingers, a warlike and brave tribe, extending themselves along the Matteawan, along the Wappingers Kill and tributaries, along the Hudson, and to the northward crossed the river into Ulster comity. These and other tribes to the south, west and north were parts of and tributaries to the great Iroquois Confederation — the marvel for all time to come of a system of government so wise and politic, and for men so eloquent and dar- ing. The Wappingers took part in the Dutch and Indian Wars of 1643 and 166:5, led on by their war chiefs, Wapperonk and A.cpjen. A few indian names are still remaining, and a few traces of their history still left standing. The name Matteawan is indian. It is the indian name of the stream, signifying "Good Beaver Ground." The name Wappinger still tells of the lords that once owned the soil along the Hudson. The indian name of the stream, however, was Mawanassigh or Mawenawasigh. Wiccapee and Shenondoah are in- dian names of places in Fishkill Hook and East Fishkill. Apoquague, now denoting a country Post Office, was then the indian name of what is now called Silver Lake. The meaning in indian signifying "The Round Pond." In Fishkill Hook, until quite recently, there were traces of their HISTORY OF FISHKILL. 52 burial grounds, and many apple and pear trees are still left standing, set there by the hands of the red man before the country had been oc- cupied by Europeans. In closing this part of our subject, we subjoin a deposition made by David Nimham, a Wappinger indian, touching boundaries of tribes, &c. Davih Ximham, aged thirty-six years, being duly sworn, maketh oath, that he is a river indian, of the tribe of the Wappingers, which tribe were the ancient inhabitants of the east shore of Hudson's River, from the City of New York to about the middle of Beekman's Patent ; that another of river indians, called Mahiccondas, were the ancient inhabitants of the remaining east shore of the said river : that these two tribes constituted one nation. That the deponent well un- derstands the language of the Mahiccondas. It is very little differ- ent from the language of the Wappingo tribe. That the indian word Pattenock signifies in the language of the Mahiccondas, a fall of wa- ter, and has no other signification. And this deponent says that he is a Christian, and has resided some years with the Mahiccondas at Stockridge. His DAVID H XTMHAM. Mark. Sworn the second day of August, 1762, before me. William Smith. Having thus noticed briefly the indian history of the town, we now proceed to notice the patent and subsequent settlement. The first purchase of laud in the County of Dutchess was made in the town of Fishkill. On the 8th day of February, 1682, a license was given by Thomas Dongan, Commander in Chief of the Province of New York, to Francis Rombout and Gulian Yer Planck, to purchase a tract of laud from the indians. Under this license they bought ou the 8th day of August, 1683, of the Wappinger indians all their right, title and interest to a certain large tract of land, afterward known as the Rombout Precinct. Gulian Yer Planck died before the English Pat- ent was issued by Gov. Dongan. Stephauus Van Cortland was then joined in it with Rombout, and Jacobus Kipp substituted as the rep- resentative of the children of Gulian Yer Planck. On the 17th day of October, 1685, letters patent, under the broad seal of the Province of New York, were granted by King James the Second, and the parties 53 II/STORY OF FISHEILL. to whom these letters patent were granted, became from that time the undisputed proprietors of the soil. There were 76,1100 acres of these lands lying in Fishkill and other towns taken from the patent, and 9,000 acres lying in the limits of the town of Poughkeepsie. Besides paying the natives, as a farther consideration for the privilege of their license, they were to pay the Commander in Chief, Thomas Dongan, six bushels of good and merchantable winter wheat every year. We an- happy in being able to present the subscribers to the Direc- tory, with a copy of the original indian deed of the town. It has ne^ er before been published, and may well deserve their attention. "We are inbedted to Wm. K. Admsgton, of the State Treasury Department, for a copy of this old deed. Mr. Addinuton obtained it by persisting in his search for it, after repeated failures. BOOK OF PATENTS, VOL. 5, PAGE ?'2. The following Indian Deed of Sale.

I do hereby certify the aforegoing to be a true copy of the Original Record, compared therewith by me. Lewis A. Scott, Secretary. Having thus given the boundaries of the Rombout Patent, we will next notice the original dimensions of the County of Dutchess, and of the sub-divisions. Dutchess was one of the original ten counties formed in 1683. By act of the Legislature, its boundaries are thus defined in the third year of the reign of William and Mary, 1691. "The Dutchess County to be from the bounds of the County of Westchester on the south side of the Highlands, along the east side of Hudson's River, as far as Roe- loffe Jansen's Creek, and eastward into the woods twelve miles." — Roeloffe Jansen's creek was situated near the centre of our neighbor- ing county of Columbia. It will thus be observed that the Patent was O < HISTORY OF FISHKILL. too wide for the county. By farther act of the Legislature passed in the reign of William the Third, on the 18th day of October, 1701, Dutchess County was annexed to Ulster for the term of seven years. Provision being made "for the freeholders in Dutchess County, to give their votes in the County of Ulster, us if they actually lived in said county." In the twelfth year of the reign of Queen Ann, on the 23d day of October, 17J5, an act was passed "for Dutchess County to elect a Supervisor, a Treasurer, Asessors and Collectors." Up to this time no election had been held in Dutchess County. This arrangement continued in force until 1719, when the county was divided into three Districts or "Wards, called the Middle, Northern, and Southern Wards, with power to choose a Supervisor in each. After 1737 these wards were again sub-divided into seven precincts, with power to elect a Supervisor and Town Officers in each, and this provision was coupled with the act, "That the wages of each Supervisor shall not exceed three shillings for each day." It will already have been noticed that the Patentees came in full possession of their purchase in the Fall of 1685. Possession and occupancy do not always join hands in new- purchases. Several years must therefore have elapsed before any real settlement was made on the Patent. In fact twenty -five years after, in 1710, there were but very few families located on the Patent. Not certainly to exceed a dozen. No positive dates of occupancy can lie determined from authentic records before 1708; and the reason why, is that up to this time on account of minor children no title could have been given. In 17(18, however, a partition by writ of the Supreme Court was made of all the lands between the Fishkill and Wappinger's Creek ; the rest, north and south of these streams, remaining in common. "We are left there- fore to conjecture a little as to the time of first actual settlement ; but will avoid this by stating undoubted facts and leave this privilege to others. On the Tenth of January, 1709, ROGER BEETT and CatheBNE, his wife, gave their joint bond to Captain GYLOB Shelly, of New York City, for the sum of three hundred ninety-nine pounds and six shil- lings. This bond soon falling due, and not having been paid, on the 3rd day of June, 1713, they gave a mortgage deed to Robert Watts and ROBERT Surting, executors of Gylob Shelly, covering all their part of the division between the two streams. Their allotment, being the southerinost part, or the part covering mainly the Fishkill settle- ment. "Excepting and reserving always out of the said premises, one tenement, grist-mill and watercourse thereunto belonging, together with 300 acres of land adjoining the saiil mill, now or late in possession HISTORY OF FISITKILL 58 of said Roger Brett, or his assigns, and also, 150 acres now or late in possession of John Terboss ; loo acres of snch land, now or of late in possession of John Buys ; 100 acres of said land now or late in pos- session of Casper Prime; 80 acres of said land, now or late in pos- session of Peter De boys ; 60 acres of said land, now or late in pos- session of Yowreb Springstead. Also, five thousand acres lying and being in any part of the hereby reserved premises." And inasmuch as these are the only persons named in the Mort- gage Deed ; the inference is that few, if any others, were occupying lauds on the Patent. Having therefore this basis of facts, the reader can tell as well as any one, when the first settlement teas made. The money loaned by Roger Brett and his wife'was no doubt used by them iu erecting a house and building a grist-mill the following year. This enterprise deserves a passing notice. A grist-mill now has no very especial features of interest. It would have great charms now if we were depending solely upon one single mill for our daily bread. How different then must have been the grist-mill to the new settle- ment. It highly commends the enterprise and liberality of the paten- tee that he should so soon make provision for the wants of the young and weak community. It was the first mill built in Dutchess County, and for a long time Orange county paid tribute to Madame Brett's Mill, for by this name it was known, tar and wide over the country. Roads terminated there, "From Wiccopee to Madame Brett's Mill." "From Hackensak to Madame Brett's Mill." A few years since an old gentleman in Orange County stated this circumstance : His Grand Father had told him when he was a boy how he used to go to Madame Brett's Mill. That was then the only Mill to wfiieh they had access. The neighbors and settlers for miles would come witli a bag of grain fastened securely upon the back of a horse. When they had all arrived, the horses were tied to each other's tails, and mounting the foremost one he wended his way to the river. With au indian canoe he would cany over the grain and when ground return home again i.i the same manner. We pass now from the first grist-mill of the town to the first freight- ing partnership established in the Town. Though the contract is somewhat lengthy, yet probably satisfactory nevertheless to many, we will insert it in full. There seems properly to be a connection be- tween milling and freighting, and on that account we mention it here.

We have before spoken of the difficulty of obtaining actual data prior to tiic period of 1708, during the twenty-three years immediately following the purchase of the soil. This same difficulty continued in force on the Ver Planck portion of the division until M22, on account of minor children, when it was again divided. One third of the Ver Planck portion was apportioned to Andrew Teller, sou and only child of Henrietta Verplanck, and was sold by his executors about 1740. Settlement therefore was begun on the Verplnnek portion of the division subsequent to the Kombout and Van Courtland sections. To throw some additional light upon this period, we submit a few further Legislative enactments in reference to Dutchess County. In 1687 the Governor and Council levied a tax of a halfpenny on every pound out of the estates of the freeholders of Dutchess County. On the 10th day of September, 1692, passed a fur- ther act, " To raise 80 men out of Dutchess and Ulster to protect Al- bany from indians duringthe winter. "In 1713, "Empowered Dutchess Co. to elect a Supervisor, Assessor, and Collector;" and in 1717 gave Dutchess County the privilege of erecting a county-house and prison. The manor of Livingston was then detached from Dutchess, and joined to Albany. Previous to 1718 there were no records kept in Dutchess County. — Whatever records may have been kept prior to this time have been lost, and we have been unable in Ulster County records to find any- thing 'covering this period. If we assume that settlement commenced in the town as early as (il KJSfORi' OF FISHKILL. 1695, then it is now over 170 years ago. The Cities of Xewburirh and Poughkeepsie together contain now more of a population than the whole State of Xew York did then. One of the first instruments on record in the county is dated on the 26th day of December, 1718. This was a conveyance by Nicholas Van DerBogart for the purpose, as the record states, "to build and maintain a proper meeting-house to worship the one and only God, according to the tenets and methods as it is concluded by the Synod National kept at Dordrecht in 161* and '19, and that in the nedder Dutch lingo, as it is now used by the classis of Amsterdam." A few deeds on record date back to 1704. — There is also a receipt from Abraham Buys of:? pounds, J<> shillings, and 2 pence, "pursuant to an act of the general assembly to promote trade with the indians, and for securing the Six Nations in his Ma- jesty's service.'' There is also an account of some bounties. "To Krickes the Indian, for a wolfs head." Another to Simon Coole, and yet another to Capt. Barnard Van Cleek, "for a wolf killed by Per- cemmin the Indian." In 1714 Dutchess County contained a population of 44.">. There were 67 heads of families at the time when the census was taken, (hi accounl of the fewness of their number we herewith subjoin a list of their names.

Dirck Wesselse, The first tax book bears date Jan. 17th, 1717. The amount of prop- erty liable to taxation in the North Ward was £426, upon which there was a tax levied of £19, 19s, 4M; in the Middle Ward the property taxed amounted to £554, the tax levied £33, 9s, 6i& In the South Ward, the property taxed £320, the tax levied £19, 6s, Id. in 1723 there were one hundred and ninety-five taxable inhabitants in the county. Of these 47 were taxable in the South Ward. At this time quite a number of new names are introduced. Among them are the Mousiers, Lassinks, Lownsberrys, Sehoutens, Walderns, Binges, 4- sloping hill-side between there and the river. On to the north, if the map were extended, he would notice near the river, the residence of Baltus Van Kleak, near the mouth of a stream called Fish Creek or Cruyn Blboogh. Directly east of Baltus was the residence of John Edwards, and farther up the stream two other houses without designated owners. Out upon the Wappinger, directly east, and stand- ing solitary and alone, was the house of John Allins. The Xine Partner tract lay out beyond this, sub-divided into tracts without an occupant, or but one or two at most. Such in brief is an outline given by this old Map of 1736, of this uow populous and beautiful section of our county. We had hoped also in this connection to have given a Map of the village of Fishkill, of the same period. The Map has been mislaid. It would have made much poorer show upon paper than the shire town of the county does. There would not have been enough of it to have made it a neighborly farming community. The forty-seven taxable inhabitants in 1723 had increased to 71 in 1730, thus showing an increase of 24 in seven years.

The period of 1740 was one of much progress and improvement. — The population increased more rapidly than at any prior time. There are several places still standing which date back to about this time. The old house of brick and stone near the mouth of the creek, former- ly or now owned by the Xewlins, was built by Madame Brett in 1740, as the date cut in the wall shows. Part of the homestead house of the Yer Pkncks, on the river, was built a little before 1740. The resi- dence of Hon. Isaac Teller, dates back to nearly the same period. The names attached to the following petition will give a better idea of the accession to the population and who composed it. The peti- tion states : " WE WHOSE NAMES are hereunto subscribed, being freeholders and inhabitants, have agreed and consented that the highway that used to run from "Wecapee along the south side of the Fishkill, should be • 65 HISTORY OF FISHKILL. altered and turned oyer said Fishkill at east end of Judge Ter Bushes' land, in the county road leading along the north side of the Fishkill."

The petition further stairs. "That we are fully of opinnion that the altering and turning of said road again beyond the new bridge, along the south side of the said Fishkill, proceeds from a private view of malice to keep up party con- tention and division among the neighbors and to damage some par- ticular persons, thau from any real intention to serve anybody either private or public, and this we freely and sincerely declare, in Dutchess Co., Aug. ye first, 17:59."

These are the men. however, that made the early history of the town and every man of them is deserving of remembrance. They endured the hardships of the earl}- settlement, battled with the forests, hardened themselves by privation and want, and by the sides of streams and hillsides built for themselves homes. More than a cen- tury ago many of them finished their work. One by one, surely and steadily, they were followed by others, and long years ago the last lingering ones have fallen. To every son of Fishkill, whether he be of the "Manor born" or one of her adopted sons ; whether he inherit the blood of these men, or spring from other sires, it matters not. They are the fathers of the town, and because they are fathers in that rela- tion, are they the fathers of us all — and deserving of remembrance. In speaking of the early records of the county we have before notic- ed a deed of land that was conveyed for the purpose of building a Dutch Church at Poughkeepsie. We revert to this subject again and proceed to notice the early Churches in the town. The Churches in Poughkeepsie and Fishkill, from the most reliable information that can be obtained, were both of them organized in 1716. Previous to this organization there had no doubt been services performed, and occasional preaching in both of these parishes. This was the case at Hopewell prior to the Church organization. Services were held for the lack of better accommodations in barns. On one of these occa- sions, in a barn belonging to Mr. Isaac Storm, of Stormville, the preacher was speaking of Beelzebub, asking the question, "Who is Balzebub ?" A little Irishman, sitting in one of the leinters, thinking himself personally addressed, sprang to his feet and said, "Och, mon, that's asily toold by a mon of character; the high Praist of Hill, sir." The Dutch Church at Poughkeepsie, was the first church that was built in Dutchess County. The exact year of building it is not so ap- parent. Probably, however, about 1720, or soon after. The Church of Fishkill was built in 1731. The petition to his excellency, John Montgomery, Esq., states "that the members of said congregation have agreed amongst themselves to erect and build a convenient church, to the public worship of God, nigh the said Fish Creek." The building of the church is not positively stated in this petition, but in a certain bond bearing date the same year it is clearly stated, that they "had agreed and built a church." There was a Glebe attached to the Church. This Glebe land was purchased in two different lots. 67 HISTORY OF FISIIKILL. One lot "containing seven and almost a half acres," was purchased from Madame Brett. The other portion "containing three quarters of an acre and fifteen rods, with the appurtenancies, whereon to erect a church or house, for the service or worship of them in manner and form as aforesaid, for the inhabitants of the Fishkill or South "Ward, and their heirs and assigns forever," was purchased from Johannis Terboss. The church of Fishkill was the first church built in the Rombout Patent. For twenty years it was the only church in the Patent. Tt was at- tended on alternate Sabbath mornings, by people living- far into the interior beyond Hopewell and Hackensack. For beside Poughkeepsie there was no other church, at that day on the east side of the Hudson above the Highlands, unless in the vicinity of Albany. Whenever, therefore, the preacher lifted his voice at Fishkill, it was the only voice, the only open pulpit in all that land. Rev. Cornelius Tan Schie, was the first pastor of the Churches of Fishkill and Poughkeepsie. He was duly installed over this field of labor on the 4th of Oct. 1731, removed to Albany in 1738. He was succeeded by Rev Benjamin Meinenia, the second pastor of the two Churches. His letter of recommendation by the Theological profes- sor in Holland, is written in Latin, and speaks of him as having un- dergone the proper course of study, as a "praestantissirnumjuvenem," a most excellent young man. On this account the letter states, "I joyfully have wished to recommend him to the love and favor of all good men." Dated, 1727. He was called here in 1745, retired 1758, and died Q th of Sept., 176J. He was buried in the grounds adjoining the Church at Fishkill. Mr. Meinenia, was succeeded by Rev. Mr. Van Nist, in Nov., 1758. But little is known of Mr. Van Xist. He only lived to retain his charge three years, and died in early manhood in 1761. He too was buried in the ground adjoining the church. Up to 1747, the Church at Fishkill was the only church edifice in the town, and together with that at Poughkeepsie, were the only (.'bundles in the County. The increasing settlements made at Fishkill, the ac- cession to Hie population from families who were attached to the English Church, as well as Presbyterian, began to make it manifest that other Churches were needed. Hopewell and New Hackensack, now more thickly settled, were beginning, too, to feel the need of public worship, nearer than Fishkill and Poughkeepsie. Church or- ganizations, were therefore established in both of these places. At Hopewell in 1757, and at New Hackensack in 1758. These organiza- tions were afterward associated with Poughkeepsie and Fishkill, and HISTORY OF FISHKILL 68 wo continued for years having one settled pastor in charge of all of them. The first Presbyterian Church erected in the town being, also the first Presbyterian Church in the County, was erected at Brincker- hoffVille, two miles east of Fishkill Tillage. It occupied the site of the one which has so recently and so unfortunately been burned to the ground. From a manuscript in the hand writing of Rev. Mr. Clark, deceased, who appears to have made the early history of this Church, a subject of much inquiry, the following information is mostly obtained: Tradition reports, says the Rev. Mr. Clark, that this congregation, was collected about the year 1746, by the Rev. Mr. Kent. In 1747, Sept. 17th and 18th, the frame of the Presbyterian Meeting-House, was raised and an acre of ground was given for that purpose by Ja- cobus Terboss, Esq. The condition of the grant was that the Church be organized in accordance with the order of the Kirk of Scotland. The first interment in the above lot was Susan, wife of Stephen La- doe. This was on the 27th of Sept., 1747. In July, 1748, the Meethig-House was enclosed, and temporary seats were laid on the 2d day of July, of the above year. The Rev. Mr. Graham, preached the first sermon in the new, but unfinished, Meeting-House. The Rev. Elisha Kent, who preached one half his time in this place, being present with Mr. Graham, the assembly agreed to gather a church in this place. The next day, July 3d, (Sab- bath), after two sermons preached by Mr. Graham, four elders were elected, viz: Peter Monfort, "William Drake, James Vidleurne and John Cwer, (perhaps others). Rev. Chauucey Graham was ordained pastor of this Church, in connection with the Church at Poughkeepsie. The parsonage lot was purchased in the year 1750. In Sept., 1752, Rev. Mr. Graham's connection with the Church at Poughkeepsie, was dissolved by the Presbytery of New York, regularly convened at Newark. The ground of this dissolution was the "failure on the part of t lie Church at Poughkeepsie, to meet their pecuniary engagements His whole time was then devoted to this Church. In 1773, Mr. Graham left this Church, having been the Pastor twen- ty-three years. He died in 1734. From 1775 to 1783, the Church and congregation were greatly disturbed by the American Revolution. — For a time the place of worship was used as a hospital for the sick, so that the people enjoyed little ministerial service. In 1783, Rev. Isaac Blauvelt, Pastor of the Reformed Dutch Churches, of Fishkill and Hopewell, for two-thirds of his time, employed the other third in 69 iilSTORY OF FISHKILL. this Presbyterian Church. His ministry continued seven or eight years. Rev. Mr. Marsh succeeded hirn preaching half of his time at Poughkeepsie, in J7 ( .)l or 92. Rev. Isaac Lewis succeded him from 179? to 1800. Rev. John ('lark followed for two years, succeeded by Rev. Mr. Huntings. The third Church erected in the town, the first one too, of its de- nominational character in the county, the first on the east side of the river above the Highlands, was the Trinity Church, at Fishkill Vil- lage. This Church is one of the oldest Church edifices in the State, older by many years than any other in the county. It had original- ly a towering spire of much beauty of appearances upon which was perched the invariable weather cock. Which said venerable bird is still nourishing, apparently as young as ever, on the premises of Mr. Catheal, in full sight of his more ancient perch. The interior arrange- ments are believed to be precisely the same as when at first erected. May they continue as many years more to hallow the future as they do now hallow the past with their sweet memories. The early records of this Church are believed to have been lost during the Revolution. The time of the building of the Church can- not now be determined with entire certainty. Rev. Dr. Brown ofNewburgh, lion. (Julian 0. Verplanck and others, believe it to have been built about 1760. We have been favored with a valuable communication from Rev. Dr. Buel, Rector of Christ Church of Poughkeepsie, and accept of the information he offers as the most reliable that can be now presented. We arc indebted to the same gentleman for favoring us with the suc- cession of the Rectorship in this Church. In reference to the building of the Church the Dr. furnishes a copy of a subscription paper "for the purchase of the Glebe in some convenient place in Poughkeepsie, Rombout, the Great Nine Partners, or Beekman," bearing date, April 2d, 1766. Which subscription furthermore distinctly states these words: "And inasmuch as there is not any settled church of England in the said county, by which means public worship, according to the Lifurgie of the said Church, is altogether neglected." From this Statement it would appear that there might not have been a Church edifice erected at thai time in the County. The first services, says Dr. Hud, were held by Rev. Samuel Seabury, lather of Bishop Sea- bury, in the year 1756. The account of his visit to the Society for the propagation of the gospel led them to agree to send a missionary to this county, when certain conditions were complied with. The conditions were that a church and residence should be built before HTSTORY OF FISHKILL. 70 the missionary was sent. Accordingly Rev. John Beardsley, was appointed for the Precincts of Poughkeepsie, Beekman and Romhotit, and accepted Oct. 26th, 176(5. Freacked his first sermon at the house of William Bumfrey, in Beekman, Dec. 21st, 1766, from Luke 2d, 32d. Trinity Church and Christ Church, Ponghkeepsie. were united under one Rector for a period of nearly fifty years. A controversy between these two churches, grew out of this union, about the Glebe, situated at Pongh- keepsie, which they owned together, which was finally adjusted Jan. 2d, 1797. Rev. Mr. Beardsley was removed to New York, Dec. 16th, 1777, by order of the Council of Safety. The next Rector was Rev. Henry Yan Dyck. who accepted Jan. 22d, 1787, dividing his time equally between the two Churches. He continued Rector until the spring of 1791, and was succeeded by the Rev. George H. Spierea, Nov. 12th, 1792. Mr. Spierea left Dec. 9th, 1795, and was succeeded by Rev. John J. Savers, Jan. 5th, 1795, who continued in the Rectorship two years. Mr. Savers was succeeded by Rev. Philander Chase, afterward Bishop of Ohio and also of Illinois, and the. founder of two Colleges, Kenyan College, Gambier, Ohio, and Jubilee College in Illinois. Mr. Chase came in 1794, and left for New Orleans, in 1705. Rev. Barzillai Bulkley succeeded him, Aug. 6th, 1806, and left Aug. 17th, 1809. At a Yestry Meeting of Trinity Church, Pishkill, held November 2d, 1796, the following vestrymen were present : Jeremiah Green, Benjamin Snider, John F. Carman, John Southard, Greenlief Street, Francis I 'ever, Daniel C. Yerplanck. Having thus given a brief outline of the early organizations of the Episcopal and Presbyterian Churches, we recur again to the further outline of the Dutch Churches in the town. In 1764 the first church edifice in the eastern part of the town, was erected at Hopewell. The following year, 1765, the church at New Hackensack. This period of the church was very much disturbed by the unfortunate dissension of its own membership, organized under two leaderships or parties, called Coetus and Conferentia. The Con- ferentia party were tenacious about the old customs, ordination of ministers, iu Holland, the low Dutch language in the Church worship. 71 HISTORY OF FISHKILL.

We pass the French and Indian Wars over too hastily, if we regard them simply as having reference to the then difficulties between France and England. We take a far more correct view, when we see in the training to arms and deadly strife, the needed tutellage, which the coming years would reveal as so apposite and fitting. The men who fought the battles of England against the French and Indians were the young men of the country, who had been born and reared under a Monarchy. Had been educated vassels and minors, and needed further education to develope their manhood and make men of them. Not sycophants to cringe and crawl at the beet of Lords, as though Lords were made to ride over them; but men who felt with each renewed conflict and strife, that they were Lords them- selves, and had the patent right to it, not by favor of the Crown ; but by what their own strong arms and brave hearts had dared and done. The mind and spirit of the country had been developed. And the same men who fought with the young flush of manhood on their brows in 1660, wielded stronger weapons and dealt all the heavier blows, fifteen years later in the full strength of their manhood, when with inextinguishable purpose they resolved that they would die free- men, rather than live slaves. The French and Indian wars when viewed in this light are clad with grand realities Their proportions dazzle us, just as the dawn gives promise of the day. The dawnings of American Revolution may, therefore, with propriety date back to the French and Indian wars of 1760 and '63. At the opening of the Revolution, the first conflict to anus at Lex- ington, in the spring of 1775, the whole country was startled at the impending imminence in which it had been so suddenly placed, and yet whoever reads carefully, or even carelessly the record of those times must now see that the culmination at Lexington was a neces- sity. The work might have been delayed, but delay only added to its strength. The Provincial Congress speedily assembled at New York, and began at once to devise measures for the general safety. County Committees were organized. These County Committees car- ried the instructions they received to the Precincts or Towns. The Precincts at once organized "a committee of observation" who took cognizance of the disaffection under their special charge. We give here a list of the persons forming this "Committee of Observation" in the town of Fishkill : DIRCK (1. BRINXERHOFF, Chairman. ('apt. JACOBUS SWAKTWOUT, Dept. Chairman. JOHN 11. SLEIGHT, Clerk. HTSToRY OP FISHKILL. 76 Jacobus De Graff, Richard Van Wyck, Capt. Isaac Hageman, Henry Godwin, Elias Yan Benschoten, John Langdon, Capt. Joseph Horton, Win.

Brinckerhoff, Henry Rosecrans, jur. Dock Theodoras Yan Wyck. The first meeting of this "Committee of observation" was held on Thursday, the 13th day of Jnly. Washington had then been appointed in command of the American forces, and was then in person at Bos- ton. From this time, July 13th, to the adjournment of the Commit- tee, on the 27th day of September, during the period of ten weeks, at the very opening of the war, we have a perfect record of their action upon the varied business that came before them. This paper is in perfect preservation, covering more than twenty pages of finely and well written material of larger size than foolscap paper. Inasmuch as these papers have never been published, we shall not hesitate to make free use of them iu this sketch. Before this, however, that none may be confused at the locality of "Capt Jacob Griffin's," we would here state that it was situated upon the Hopewell road, just beyond Swartwoutville. This place is now occupied by Mr. Curtis. The building itself being much the same in outward appearance as when kept as a tavern stand by Capt. Griffin, and known then as the "Rendezvous." It was situated at a point convenient of access to all parts of the town. At the second meeting of this committee, on Saturday, the 29th day of July, in the afternoon, at the house of Capt. Jacob Griffin, "the persons who were appointed to tender the association to the inhabi- tants and freeholders of this Precinct, returned the said association papers agreeably to an order, made at the first of this instant. This Committee taking into consideration that a number of persons have not yet signed the association, by reason of their not having an op- portunity, occasioned by the shortness of time, committed for the re- turn thereof, and others that are not convinced about signing the same, ordered, That the Chairman of this Committee do write a letter to the President of the Provincial Congress, at New York, acquainting him that a number of the inhabitants of this Precinct are not convinced about signing the association. Ordered, That time be given for the i I HISTORY OF FISIIKILL. return of the said association papers, till Tuesday, the loth of Aug. next, at ten o'clock iu the forenoon of the same day at the house of Capt.

Resolved, That the several Captains of the Companies in this Pre- cinct be requested to call their Companies together by the twelfth day of August next, in order that the association be tendered to them for signing and that no coercive means be used to make them sign, and make a return to this Committee by the 15th of Aug. next, and that the Capts. be requested to call their companies together on the follow- ing days, viz : Capt. Southard's Company, on Saturday, the 5th of Aug. next. Capt. Brinckerhoff, on Tuesday, 8th Aug. next. Capt. Horton, on Saturday, 12th Aug. next. Ordered, That Dr. Theodoras Van Wyck do acquaint Capt. Bedell to call his Company by the 12th Aug., and make return by the 15th, and that Mathew Tan Benschouten, do request Capt. Leyster to call his Company together by the 12th, and make return the 15th Aug. Resolved, By this Committee that a fine of 4 shillings lie laid upon each of the members of this Committee for no attendance, unless a reasonable excuse can be made, the legality of the excuse to be ad- judged by not less than six of the committee. And for the first quar- ter of an hour after the time appointed six pence ; for half an hour one shilling ; for a whole hour two shillings. Committee Chamber at the house of Capt.

The first thing that offered was to make a true copy of the names of those persons who signed and who refused signing the association. "Which being done the Chairman was ordered to transmit the same to the Provincial Con- gress, with the utmost dispatch, and keep the original in his hand for the inspection of the committee. The next things in order were charges and specifications. One of these charges was " For drinking damnation to the Church of Eng- land." Another, "For denying the Authority of the Continental Con- gress, and all authority under them." Ordered that the next meeting of this committee be at the house of Mr John Langdon, on Thursday the 17th, at 2 o'clock. Resolved, that Lieuts. Langdon and Van Ben- schouten bring such a detachment as their Capt. shall think sufficient to bring John Doe before the sub committee at the time of our next meeting. Ordered, That John A. Brinkerhoff wait upon John Doe with a letter from the Chairman of this Committee, requesting his attendance. Ordered, That on refusal of compliance that Capt. Jacobus Rosecrans order a detachment of his men to apprehend the said John Doe, and bring him before this Committee to answer such matter as shall be alleged against him. Resolved, That there should be inquiry made by the several members of this Committee, in the road districts, what number of arms can be purchased or hired for the Continental forces, and make report at the next meeting. At a meeting of the major part of this Committee of observation, convened by the Chairman, or an extraordinary call from the County Committee, before the day of adjournment at Capt. Griffin's, on Mon- day "21st August, 1775. The Chairman took the chair and reported to the board that on Saturday the 18th ult., he received a resolve from Chairman of the County Committee. That in consequence of which resolve, he called this meeting of the Committee. Then read the resolve as follows, to wit: Dutchess County Committee, Aug 18th, 1775.

Charges specified — Mr. Henry Rosecrans, one of the members of this committee reported that, John Doe came to the house of him, the said Henry Rosecrans, on Sunday, the 20th August inst.,with a drawn cutlass, and with great violence, damned the recruiting officers, tin- men listed by them, and all proceedings of the committee. The Com- mittee taking the charge against John Doe into consideration, are of opinion that the words spoken are very contemptuous against the au- thority invested in this Committee and detrimental to the public cause. The question being put whether the said John Doe be sent for immediately before this committee : It was resolved unanimously that Capt, Jacob Rosecrans, Lieuts. Benschouteu and Langdon, to HISTORY OF FISHKILL. SO wait upon the said Doe and desire him to appear immediately before this Committee ; and on refusal of compliance the said Captain Rose- crans take a file of men and bring him forcibly before this Committee, and that the said Rosecran, Beuschouten and Langdon do likewise request Daniel Wright, Benjamin Rosecrans and ¥m: Van Amburgh, jur., to attend this Committee at the same time as evidences against the said John Doe.

The matter of complaint of John Roe against John Doe, coming be- fore this board. Stephen Duyea declares that while John Roe and John Doe were together drinking he never heard John Doe drink dam- nation to the Church of England ; but some other toast. This board taking the above into consideration, alter hearing the proof's and alle- gations of both parties are of opinion that, that the said John Doe is not guilty of the charges alleged against him by the said John Roe, and this board do further say that the said John Roe, is guilty of a notorious falsehood in saying that the evidences were not examined and sworn to in his presence. We have thus given to the reader liberal extracts from this old Revolutionary document. It is marked on the outside: The General Proceedings till 9th Sept., 1775. It is of very little account to the public now to know who John Doc and John Roe wen — such kind of questionings can do no earthly good, and cannot be gratified. Its enough to know that John Doe was a reputable character, kept good company, not a brawler, nor a busy body, but had lived so long, and held offices so long under the crown that he honestly believed all pro- ceedings of Committees of observation, Colloidal Congress, 4c, usur- pations of rightful authority. John Doe from his stand point looked upon the whole business as an outbreaking of mobery and vandalism, HISTORY OF FISH KILL. 82 which only needed a little wholesome discipline, a straight collar tight- ly buttoned to the chin, here and there, and the whole thing would dissolve. John Doe believed it, and because he believed it, could even then see these same men before whom he was arraigned as a mover of seditions, dissensions, &c, most suppliantly beseeching him to in- tercede for them, to save their necks from the halter, their lands from confiscation and their families from disgrace. He was a King's man. FOK THE KLXG, Thick or thin. Lest some too might suppose that John Doe was a troublesome, single handed fellow, we can do no better service than to disabuse their minds of this fallacy at once. John Doe had as many heads al- most as there are ears of corn in a corn field, not branching out of one body , but each several head with other organizations as perfect as the head. John Doe was ubiquitous besides. In every township or ward, village or city. In Rombouts Precinct, in a population embrac- ing 762 freeholders and inhabitants, 502 signed the association papers and 260 refused, being a little over one third o^the whole population enrolled. Lest too some sensitive townsmen might think such an ex- position a little disreputable to the fair name and fame of our old town, we will continue the exposition a little further. Beekman Precinct re- turned 386 as her whole numerical force. Of this number 257 sigued and 135 refused, a shade worse to do it will be observed, than our old town. Poughkeepsie returned in all 295 men, of these 213 signed and 82 refused, only a shade better than either of the others. Rhinebeck returned in all 480 men, 262 for and 218 against, decidedly worse than either, almost in fact equally divided. The reader therefore, it is pre- sumed, is already satisfied with the ubiquitous John Doe. We could extend the comparison still further iuto neighboring counties and Stales, and find much the same state of affairs there existing. The one conclusion to which we should inevitably be brought would be, that no particular section could claim privilege to throw stones at the other. They were all living in glass houses together, and the wonder must ever be, that how with such a divided home sentiment, appar- ently too weak, if united, to cope with so formidable an adversary, the Independence of the States could ever have been obtained. The dif- ficulties under which it was obtained invest it with as daring a hero- ism, as invincible a purpose, as inextinguishable a will, as can be found in any chapters of great deeds in the world's great history. The American Pledge, or Association Papers, as they are called in the General Proceedings, was as follows : 83 HISTORY OF FISHKILL. Persuaded that the salvation of tin- rights and liberties of America depend, under God, on the firm union of its inhabitants in a rigorous prosecution of the measures necessary for its safety; and convinced of the necessity of preventing anarchy and confusion, which attend a dissolution of the powers of government ; we, the freemen; freehold- ers and inhabitants of Rombout's Precinct, being greatly alarmed at the avowed design of the Ministry to raise a revenue in America, and shocked by the bloody scenes now acting in Massachusetts Pay, do, in the most solemn manner, resolve never to become slaves, and do associate, under all the ties of religion, honor, and love to our country, to adopt and endeavor to carry into execution whatever measures may be recommended by the Continental Congress, or resolved upon by our Provincial Congress, for the purpose of preserving our Constitu- tion and opposing the execution of the several arbitrary acts of the British Parliament, until a reconcilation between Great Britain and America, on constitutional principles (which we most ardently desire) can be obtained, and that we will in all things, follow the advice of our General Committee respecting the purposes aforesaid, the preservation of peace and good order, and the safety of individuals and property. After the evacuation of Xew York, in the fall of 1776, and the im- mediate loss of the seaboard, with Pong Island and part of Xew Jer- sey, the operations of the army were carried on further into the in- terior of the country. Fishkill then became, from its safe position north of the Highlands, a place of much consideration. The town was at once crowded with refugees, as they were then called, who sought by banishing themselves from their homes on Long Island and New York, to escape sure imprisonment, and find safety here. The inter- ior army route to Boston passed through this place. Army stores. workshops, ammunition, &C, were established and deposited here. The Margins Be Chastellux, in his travels in North America, says: "This town, in which there arc not more than fifty houses in the space of two miles, has been long the principal Depot of the American Army. It is there they have placed their magazines, their hospitals, their workshops, Ac, but all of these forma town in themselves, com- posed of handsome large barracks, built in the woods at the foot of the mountains; for the American Army, like the Romans in many re- spects, have hardly any other winter quarters than wooden towns, or barricaded camps, which may be compared to the hiemalia of the Ro- mans. " These barracks were situated on the level plateaux between the residence of Mr. Cotheal and the mountains. Portions of these grounds were no doubt then covered with timber. HISTORY OF FISH KILL. S4- Guarding the approach from the south, stockades aud forti- fications were erected on commanding positions, and regularly manned by detachments from the camp. Upon one of these hills, rising out of this mountain pass-way, very distinct lines of earth works are yet apparent. Near the residence of Mr Sidney E. Van Wyck, by the large Black Walnut trees, and east of the road near the base of the mountain, was the Soldier's Burial Ground. Many poor patriot soldier's bones lie mouldering there ; and how many, if we did but know this, we should be startled at their magnitude. — This almost unknown and unnoticed burial ground holds not a few, but hundreds of those who gave their lives for the cause of American Independence. Some fifteen years ago, an old lady who was then living at an advanced age, and who had lived near the village until after she had grown to womanhood, told the writer that after the bat- tle of White Plains she went with her father through the streets of Fishkill, and in places between the Dutch and Episcopal Churches, the dead were piled up as high us cord wood. These were buried there. The wounded of the battle who afterwards died, were buried there. The constant stream of death from the hospitals were buried there. The small pox, which broke out in the camp, and prevailed very Tiialignantly, added many more. All of these causes would swell the number, until it would seem large enough and too large to have remained to this day so unobserved and unknown. Many of these were State Militia men, and it seems no more than just that the State should make an appropriation to erect a suitable monument over this spot. Rather than thus remain for another century, if a rough granite boulder were rolled down from the mountain side and inscrib- ed: To the unknown and unnumbered dead of the American Revolu- tion ; that rough unhewn stone would tell to the stranger and the pas- sen - by, more to the praise and fame of our native town, than any of us shall be able to add to it by works of our own. For it is doubtful whether any spot in the State has as many of the buried dead of the Revolution as this quiet spot in our old town. These hospitals will now command further notice. Some of these hospitals were located in the barracks about the encampment, others in the more immediate vicinity of the village. The Episcopal Church was used for that pur- ' pose all the time it was needed. The Dutch Church not so much, pos- sibly only when the pressure of circumstances demanded it. The Academy building, located on the hill above the residence of Mr. James B. Brinkerhoff, and in the rear of a building now occupied by a colored family, was also used as a hospital. Upon the site of the 85 HISTORY OF FISHKILL. house now located there, there was what was then called a Green house, whether from the color of the building or otherwise, we are not able to say. Several of the young Doctors resided there. Among these were Dr. Edmondson, Dr. Wainright, Dr. Ledger, Dr. Adams, and Dr. Duffel Mr. and Mrs. Lake kept house for the young Doctors. Beyond this, the Presbyteriau Church was further called into requisi- tion for hospital purposes. Disaffected persons were also confined there. The following letter from Gen. McDougal, which has never before been published, will jxive a more clear insight into the hospital depart- ment located at Fishkill : WHEREAS the Principal Surgeons and Physicians of the Hos- pitals at this place represented to me in December, one thousand seven hundred and sixty eight, then commanding at this Post, that the bar- racks and Episcopal Church were so crowded with the sick that their condition was rendered deplorable, and were otherwise in a suffering condition for want of proper covering, and there beingno public build- ings fit to receive or accommodate the sick, but the Presbyterian Church of this town, which impelled me from necessity to order the said church to be taken and occupied for the purposes aforesaid; which was accordingly occupied; whereby considerable damage has been done to said building, now, therefore, I do hereby certify that at the time aforesaid, 1 engaged the public faith that whatever damage should be done to the said church would lie repaired or repaid by the public. Given at Fishkill, the 8th of March, 1780. ALEX. McDOUGAL, M. General. We pass now from t lie hospitals to the more prominent places of public interest connected with this period of the history of the town. The "Walton House," as it lias been termed, is one of them. This name has already led to much needless mistake. Cooper first intro- duced this fictitious name, for the laudable purpose, no doubt, of not bringing private families too conspicuously before the public. While this is highly commendable in a novelist ; in a sketch designed to im- part information to the people of the towu respecting their own town history, no such purpose is needed nor desirable. The people of the town should therefore know that the Walton House of Cooper is none HISTORY OF FISHKILL. 86 other than the residence of Mr. Sidney E. Van Wyck. The place has al- ways been in possession of the Van "Wyck family, from the first set- tlement of the country, and never yet passed into other hands. This house was situated in close proximity to the*barracks occupied by the American forces at this Post. Washington quartered there, and other officers made it their home as long as the necessity required it. Other places in the town were similarly occupied. The old building at Swartwoutville, belonging to Mrs. Swartwout, wa^. for a time the quarters of the Baron Steuben, and other members of his staff. The house of Mr. Mathew V.B. Brinkerhoff likewise accommodated distinguished hosts. Gen. Lafayette resided there ; Doct. McNight and others. Washington, too, was often a temporary inmate of the family. While quartered there, Gen. Lafayette was taken sick, remaining sick six weeks, attended by Dr. Cochran It was while he was there sick, that a child was born in the family, and the mother of the child in- formed the writer that she should always remember Lafayette in the act of kissing and rejoicing over her son. The hotel occupied at present by Mr. Davis, was also a place of much notoriety. Part of the old building is still standing. "Washington is said to have often dined there. The Yer Planck house, near the river, was for a time the quarters of the Baron Steuben. This old Yer Planck house, too, has other historic associations ; the society of the Cincinnatti was there organized, and will again be further alluded to. Of other places of public interest, the site of the residence of Mr. John C. Yan Wyck may justly claim a passing attention. The first Constitution of the State of Xew York was first published there in 1777. Samuel Loudon, who had up to the time of the evacuation of New York, published his paper there, removed his press and material to Fishkill It was for a time the only paper that could be found to publish the news of public interest. The Convention of the Repre- sentatives of the State of Xew York, were also at the same time obliged to migrate from place to place. They held short sessions at Harlem and White Plains, retreating before the invaders to Fishkill, and there armed themselves for defense against any opposition that might be of- fered. While at Fishkill, the Convention held their session in the Episcopal Church, afterward removed from here to Poughkeepsie, and from there to Kingston. The Post Office was kept at the house oi Mr. Loudon. Mr. Joseph Jackson Diddle, of XewHackensack,has in his possession quite a large file of these papers in perfect preservation. The sword of Washington, bearing the maker's name, J. Bailey, Fishkill, and now preserved in a glass case in the Xational Museum 87 HISTORY o > O > w o o w u o 3 [S=*S» (^ £ y* PJ ^ *^3 ft SI # M m Eh n •— paq . ~ O x o * - s § Ml *? -*— " • — o Eu *»■ ■N .5 *J -r "E © ;— i; © bl fe X "" ** '^3 3 X Bp4 c CS 8 o €9 32 10 W fe HISTORY OF FlFlIKII.I,. 90 surer, to be chosen annually by a majority of votes of the stated meeting.

General Washington continued President general of the society until the time of his death, and was succeeded by General Hamilton iu 1800. General Cotesworth Pinckney, of South Carolina, succeeded him, followed by General Thomas Pinckney. Gen. Ogden, of New Jersey, succeeded him, followed by Gen. Lewis, of ISTew York, Major Pophan, Gen. Dearborne, and others. The Academy building to which we have also before alluded, is deserving justly of further notice. The site of the building has been already described. We are unable to give the date of the erection of this academy. It was built years prior to the revolution and was the first academy erected in the county. Dr. Livingston and other distinguished men in Church aud State are said to have received their early academic education at this place. For a time Rev. Chauncey Graham taught there, and during the Rev- olution Dr. Rysdike taught a classical school in Fishkill, as appears from advertisements in the paper published here at that time The early organization of an academy in this place is worthy of being re- membered, and the people of the town can recur with pride to this noble act of one hundred years ago. If the advantages of a classical education were so appreciated then, how much more should they be regarded now. Surely in this respect we have no reason to rejoice, rather to sorrow, at the decline of public interest in such laudable in- stitutions. The academy building was sold eventually and removed to Poughkeepsie and the lesson is but too apparent. Keep always the best things for home. Having now followed the more prominent features of public inter- est down to the close of the American Revolution, we shall not pur- sue the subject further. The growth and prosperity of the town, its agricultural, manufacturing, banking and other interests are made fully 91 HISTORY OF FISIIKILL. apparent by statistics in other portions of the Directory. We shall therefore close by giving brief sketches of the more prominent public men of the town. This part of onr subject might be very much ex- tended by making it a subject of special investigation. TUR BOSS. One of the first, if not the first representative man in this part of Dutchess County, was Johannus Tur Boss. This name has either been changed from its original or otherwise has now become extinct among us. He is reported in the census of 1714, and had then a family of five children. He was at this early day a justice of the peace and owned lands about Pishkill Village. The ground upon which the Dutch Church is located was purchased from him. He was elected a mem- ber of the Colonial Legislature, from 1716 to 1725, for a period of nine years ; is also spoken of as being Judge in old manuscripts, and died before 1735, over one hundred and thirty years ago. Was evidently a leading man in his day. Jacobus Tur Boss, of the same family, and probably a younger bro- ther of Johaunis, owned lands about Brinckerhoffvillc. The site of the Presbyterian Church was given by him, containing one acre, upon the condition that it "be organized in accordance with the Kirk of Scotland." He was a member of the Colonial Legislature from 1737 to 1743. VERPLANCK. Philip Verplanck was a native of the patent, a sou of the elder Gulian Verplanck. He was a surveyor and engineer, a man of great ability and attain- ments. Verplanek's Poial is called after him. He represented the Manor of Cortlaudtiu the Colonial Legislature, from 1737 to L764, for a period of nearly thirty years, and may justly be considered as one of the prominent representative men of the patent, though not represent- ing any part of his native district. Judge Daniel C. Verplanck was a native of the town of Pishkill, and represented the District in Congress, from 1803 to 1809. Was the father of Gulian C. Verplanck, of New York City, and elected Judge of the County of Dutchess in 1828. A man of much liberality and amiability of character. "William B. Verplanck was member of the Legislature from Dutchess in 1796, '97 and '98. Gulian 0. Verplanck, though never representing his native district, still justly is deserving of a prominent place among the representative HISTORY OF FISHKILL. 92 men of the town. A member from New York City to the Legislature for tour successive terms following 1820, Representative to Congress for four successive terms from 1825, also a Member of the Xew York Senate from 1838 to 1841. Aside from these positions of public trust, the productions of his pen have added even more than these to his well earned fame. His work on Shakespeare may justly be ranked among the choice productions of our American literature. His lec- tures upon Evidences of Christianity, bear, too, the marks of the same classic pen. He still enjoys the comforts of a ripe old age, and belongs to the men of a former generation who have added grace to American letters. BRINCKERHOFF. Dirck Brinckerhoff belongs to the representative men of a hundred ' years ago. Was a Member of the Colonial Assembly from 1768 to 1777, a member of the first Provincial Congress, Chairman of the Vigi- lance Committee of the town, and a Member of the Legislature from 1777 to 1787, Colouel in the Militia, and occupied other positions of trust. In person the Colonel was of large size, and somewhat swarthy complexion. If not austere, yet decided in his favor or opposition. Kept fine horses and rode in what was then called a phaeton, a car- riage with room for two and a driver, winch was at that time con- sidered a mark of some notoriety. 1). A. Brinckerhoff was elected to the Legislature of 1808 and '9, but beyond this we can give no further information. Abraham Brinckerhoff was a Member of the Legislature in 1784 and "85. "Was a farmer, and carried on in connection with this merchan- dizing and milling, and was widely known in the community in which he lived. SWARTWOUT. Gen. Jacobus Swartwout when a young man had served as a Cap- tain in the French and Indian Wars, was a member of the Vigilance Committee of the town, and repeatedly filled the office of Supervisor. Was elected to the Legislature from 1777 to 1785, afterward elected to the State Senate, which office he filled from 1784 to 1795. In per- son- the General was a fine looking man, full six feet high, and very erect in his bearing. As he grew past middle life, his hair grew gray, which gave him a venerable appearance. He wore green glasses, and was an inveterate snuffer. A man, too, of great physical strength and personal courage. When over eighty years of age would ride 93 HISTORY OF FISHKILL. away his wheat to the river, and lift his hag upon his shoulder with the ease of a youug man. A little incident better illustrates the man. During the war of 1812 he was at the river when news came that some sad calamity had be- fallen our northern army. At which a young man present took oc- casion, at once, to rejoice. "Young man," said the General, then nearly eighty years of age, "I have taken care of many just such young men as you are, and if I hear an}- more of this," shaking his head at the same time, with significant emphasis, "old as I am, I'll take care of you, sir." He served in the Revolution, was afterward promoted General, and died in 1826, over ninety years of age, having served the people of his town in every position of trust faithfully and true. A man unswerving in his integrity, and upright in all his purposes. — The loss of such men make always wide breeches in communities. Jacobus Swartwout, Sen., the father of the General, held the office of Supervisor and other positions of trust, but never attained to the eminence of his son. ADRIAXCE. Judge Abraham Adriance resided at Hopewell, and earned on al- ternately both farming and merchandizing. Was in his day an active politician, and held in a large sense of the word the confidence of the people. The Judge was a man of very pleasing manners and easy address. Somewhat portly in appearance, and withal very humorsome, and aided the humor on all occasions by entering into it with a hearty good will of his own. Gen. Root, in speaking of him, said that he was as good a fugleman as he ever knew. He was elected to the Legislature in 1798, continuing a member of the Assembly until 1800. He removed to Poughkeepsie, and was elected to the State Senate in 1803, and continued in the Senate until 1806, and afterward was elected Judge. Colonel Isaac R. Adriance is still living at an advanced age in Poughkeepsie. Has filled various positions in the town. Was elected to a seat in the Assembly in 1825, and has shown himself not deficient in sterling energy of character. SCHEXCK. We freely confess our inability to do justice to the elder representa- tives of the Schenck family. The family is one of the old families in the town, mainly settled about Mattcawan and New Hackensaek. John Schenck was a Member from Dutchess to the Assembly in HISTORY OF FISIIKILL. 94 1777 arid '73. Guysbert Schenck in 1780 and '81. Henry Scheuck in 1791. Abraham [I. S^aeack a member iu 1804, '5, '6. la the Provincial Congress, Guysbert was member of the first, Henry, John, and Paul each members of the third. Abraham H. was also elected to Congress in 1815. STORM. Thomas Storm, better known as a mark of distinguishment from other members of the family by the name of Esq. Tommy, was a man of much public influence in his day. He lived iu the eastern part of the town, east of Hopewell. Kept a tavern-stand, with the attach- ment of a store connected with it, and was much iu public life. Was a member of the Vigilance Committee of the town iu the time of the Revolution, a Member of the Legislature from 1731 to 1731. After- ward removed to N"ew York City. Was returned to the Legislature from New York City, from 1793 to 1803. Was twice elected speaker of the Assembly, and afterward ran for Lieutenant Governor of the State. He was a medium sized mau, of pleasing manners and wiuniug address, abounding in genial humor. Col. John Storm, of the same family, resided on one of the old homesteads north of Stormville, aud now occupied by his son Charles G. Was Colouel of the Militia of the town, and elected to a seat in the Legislature in 1807. If not filling conspicuously public positions, was nevertheless iu a large sense of the word a public man in private life. Though but a mere _vouth he held a commission iu the army of the Revolution, aud was ever willing, zealous, and ready to serve in any good work. Was in the truest sense of the word a peace maker, and in this respect a public benefactor deserving of lasting remem- brance. Frank and undisguised in manner, and as manly in appearance, he truly belonged to the old fashioned gentlemen of the town, who were in truth and reality just what they seemed to be. VAN WYCK. Dr. Theodoras Van Wyck was a descendent of the first generation of the Van Wyck family in Fishkill Hook, and father of the late Gen. Abraham Van Wyck. After receiving the advantages of a liberal education, he prosecuted the study of medicine, making it his profes- sion, aud established himself in its practice in the community where he was born. Was a member of the Vigilance Committee, a very zealous supporter, fearless and outspoken in favor of the war. Was a member of the second aud third Provincial Congress. This in fact is 05 HISTORY OF FISHKILL. only a poor outline of a character which has much to commend it, but we lack the all essential requisite, the material to do the subject justice. Isaac Van Wyek was a descendent of the family at Fishkill Village. Was a fanner and in connection with farming- carried on at times other speculations in grains. Was four times elected to the Assem- bly between 1794 and 1811. Was" a medium size man, very social, pleasing and popular in his manners, and held in much respect in the community. Theodorus R., better known as Judge Van Wyck, was of the Hope- well branch of the family. Was elected to the Legislature in 18U3 and 1804, and afterward elected Judge. Had done service in the Revolu- tion, of a hardy, robust constitution capable of much physical endur- ance. Somewhat reserved toward strangers, but very indulgent in his own family. Ever prompt in business, and upright in all his dealings. William W., of Fishkill Hook, was twice elected from Dutchess to Congress, after 1821. Was a man of much public influence. A man too of much reading and general information, and tilled his position with honor. After this he removed to Virginia, bought lands and carried on the farming business there, and always received the deserv- ed and well merited respect of those with whom he came in contact. Of the other members of the family, Gen. John B. was elected to the Legislature in 1816, Stephen D. in 1329. and Col. Richard C. in 1842. HALSEY. Samuel B. Halsey, son of Dr. Halsey, a long settled physician at Flopewell. Having received a liberal education, pursued the study of the law, and practiced his profession in his uative town. Was elected to the Legislature in 1827 and 1831. Afterward removed to Xew Jersey and has frequently been elected to the Legislature in that State and filled the position of speaker. WHITE. Dr. Bartow W. White a distinguished physician residing at Fishkill Village, to which place he came when a young man from Westchest- er.County. Dignified and courteous in his manners, he practiced his profession and received the entire confidence of the community to an advanced age. Was elected to Congress from this district in L825, I'm- ..lie term and is yet well remembered by the community in which he spent his active life. JACKSON. Judge Joseph I. Jackson was educated for the profession of the law HISTORY OF FISHK1LL 96 and resided at Fishkill Tillage ; but soon discontinued the law and turned his attention to agriculture. Was always regarded as a most sate and judicious counsellor. Systematic and methodical, combined with purest integrity of character. Xot a breath of suspicion sullied his good name. "Was a member of the Legislature in 1821 and 1822 and elected judge of the county in 1840. DUBOIS. Lewis was a member of the Legislature in 1786 and '87. Koert in 1810 and '11, 1820 and '21. Peter £. in 1842. Of the other representative men of the town we can but mention a few of them by name. Isaac Teller elected to Congress in 1854, and still filling his position of affibility. Dr. Theodore Y. W. Anthony, elected to the Legislature in 1834 and '35, and now actively engaged in his profession. James Mackin of Fishkill Lauding, elected to the Legislature in 1859. Self-made, persistent and energetic. John K. Myer a member of the Legislature in 1837, having filled other positions in the town. We are quite aware that in now closing the sketch of the represen- tative men some names may have been overlooked. These however can be readily added at some future period. The sketch is at best but very imperfect ; but is nevertheless the best that our limited material will permit us to make. There always must be exceptions to general rules. We make but one, inasmuch as the man himself was an exception. He was not a representative man, had in all probability never held from the hands of the people any higher office than the office of Path Master of a country road district. Was not in fact a public man, if to do acts of public service only entitle to that distinction. If however to be widely known may favor some other purpose, then P.urgune Van Alst was in no limited sense of the word a public man, since he was known by every one. Burgune Van Alst, better known as Uncle Burgune, was a genuine Long Island Dutchman, somewhat coarse in his general appearance, with a jolly red face that told well of good keeping, and a keen red eye that sparkled like a gem in its own little dominion. Of the lower part of his person, his waist had been so much let out in its nether appendages, that it had long ceased further to exist, and just where the waist once had been, an almost perfect arc of a circle, as regular as the outline of a new moon was most fittingly appended. This, while it made a certain tilting back of the head necessary, in order to pre- 97 HISTORY OF FISIIKILL. serve always the proper poise of gravitation, served also the other purpose of giving to gravity, mien. Just in fact the cut and figure of a man who could tell his own sto ries, crack his own jokes and never wimper a muscle Of course then what Uncle Burgune said was al- ways true, because being a large man he had large means of observa- tien, and moreover was alwa}-s well authenticated. Uncle Burgune could do some things which it were well to think of even in these days of Jehu driving — these days of fast horses, and taster young men. They may well blush, for all their modern Abdallas and Hambletonians are put to shame and grief by the horses and horsemanship of three- quarters of a century and more ago. He went to the river once upon a time, for Uncle Burgune said so, to take some butter of his own, and his ueighbors, an office which he delighted iu doing, and drove as usual his airy, fleet-footed blacks. Before he got near half way back, a shower came up, he said, as black as a blaeJc hat. It was almost an even thing with him, for he hadn't observed it until it came right upon him. So he whistled to his blacks, and they started and those were the horses that could travel ; for Uncle Burgune always insisted that it was a little the evenest race that he had ever had in his life time. Could distance any tiling else, but this time just barely kept the winning lead neck and neck throughout. For when lie got home the butter tubs had lost their lids and were swimming full oi'water in the back part of the wagon, and not a drop had touch- ed him, not one It was true, Uncle Burgune said, every word of it, and could be every hit of it well authenticated. A little man by the name of Ben. Way, chancing to meet Uncle Bergune among a number of men, asked him whether he had ever heard of his success in shooting quails ? "No, never; and how many did you shoot, Mr. Way l" ""Well, now, since you have never heard, I'll tell you. 1 saw a large lloek of quails running around a hay stack, and how to shoot them, I couldn't tell. There were so many of them and they kept running and running all through one another. So 1 took my old French mus- quet and struck it a whack across a log, and bent it so that 1 shot all around the stack and killed every one of them." "Well now, Mr Way, since you are talking about shooting, I'll tell you what 1 did once, what I tell you now, is the truth, every word of it. Von did a big thing, Mr. Way,'/ big thing, and I don't wonder at your wanting to tell of it. I was out once shooting pigeons, and they were so thick ; 1 had nothing but a single barrel of my rifle loaded. Just then a big flock settled upon a long straight dry limb. They sat so close to each AWS SBilEil Main Street, Fishkill Village. DEALER IN TIN, COPPER AND SHEET IRON WARE, Hoofing, Gutters.

Well, sir, I drew up my rifle just so that I hit the centre exactly, and it split through both ways and caught every one of them by the toes. Ton should have seen such flopping and fluttering. I then loaded my rifle again and cut the limb off, aud had just all I could do to carry it home." As Uncle Burgune grew in years lie enjoined upon his family that he must not be buried at Hopewell Church. "You must bury me on the hill behind the barn. I won'tsiir a step," said he, "if you take me anywhere else " And it is said when the funeral procession started the horses balked, and many old ladies were slily winking and inti- mating that Uncle Burgune was out holding the horses. Be this as it may, Uncle Burgune was the man who always had a reason for the faith that was in him. For he said he wanted to be where he could hear whether his black folks threshed or not, for they wanted a good thai of watching. wnsaass mi© pabtuss OF ALL KINDS FURNISHED BY JAMES SMITH 8c SONS, CONFECTIONERS, 13 Market Street, POUGHKEEPSIE, X.

These grounds are admirably suited for the sacred purpose to which they have beeu dedicated, and have been laid out and arranged with great taste and skill. The rules of this association, while liberal, are calculated to preserve harmony and beauty, and promote the growth and perpetuity of the organization. The Wappingers Falls Cemetery contains about twenty acres, but as the grounds are situated in the town of Poughkeepsie, do not strictly come within our province. The Episcopal Cemetery, on the north side of the creek at Matteawan.and one adjoining, connected with the PresbyterianChurch, though small, are well located and kept in good order, especially the tbrnier, which evidences a g 1 deal of taste and culture. The Catholics have purchased several acres near the foot of the mountain at Matteawan, which they intend for a Cemetery. The Methodist Cemetery on the north road between Mattea- wan and Fishkill Landing, is well arranged and neatly kept, but is small and nearly filled. The Reformed Ditch Cemetery at Fishkill Landing is near the Church, and is one of the oldest in town. It is well kept, and con- tains several vaults. wmlhalb &ii rrtaii ti-lo j\.rc THE GLENHAM STORE, WILL BE FOUND A LARGE STOCK OF (ffloots and Shoes ; utfini, s[e©sSa1&¥, hibdwibi.

POUGHKEEPSIE Extracts from Report of "Board of Examiners," June, 1865. In teaching, as in every other vocation, two things are especially requisite for success, — genius to devise the best mode, and ability to put that mode in practical operation. These the committee have found beautifully combined and illustrated in the daily routine of the Poughkeepsie Female Academy. ****** In the classes in History, Rhetoric, Moral Science, and Kames' Ele- ments of Criticism, each topic was accurately analyzed in a manner entirely satisfactory to the Committee, and most creditable to both teachers and pupils. But the excellence and beauty of the method was especially illustrated by the classes in the Mathematics ; particu- larly in Geometry and Trigonometry. * * * Such a mathematical exhibition the Committee have never witnessed, either in our higher schools, for young men, or in colleges. * * * * In Philosophy and Chemistry, the pupils exhibited the same ease and familiar knowledge, for which the previous examinations in other studies had prepared the Committee. * In music it was evident that the pupils were so thoroughly ground- ed in the principles of harmony, and skilled in their expression, as they and others had shown themselves to be in other departments of science, while it proved equally the high attainments and classic taste of their accomplished Teachers. The classes in French went through one of the most severe examin- ations which a most severe teacher could conflict, and come off with great credit to themselves and to their instructor. The accuracy of pronunciation, as well as the intimate and understanding knowledge of that difficult language shown, were remarkable. Nor have they been less impressed with the "Home Department," as it may be called. The principal and Mrs. Wright have succeeded to a surprising degree, in providing the care and comforts of a refined and christian home to those who become inmates of their family. If the Committee have omitted to speak specially of other studies or departments, it is to avoid making their report too prolix. G. M. McECKKON, Chairman. M. S.

The PACIFIC HOTEL is well and widely known to the traveling public. The location is especially suitable to merchants and business men, it is in close proximity to the business part of the City — is on the highway of Southern and Western travel — and adjacent to all the principal Railroad and Steamboat depots. The Pacific has liberal accommodation for over 300 guests ; it is well furnished, and possesses every modern improvement for the com- fort and entertainment of its inmates. The rooms are spacious and well ventilated; provided with gas and water; the attendance is prompt and respectful; and the table is generously provided with every delicacy of the season. The subscriber, who, for the past few years, has been the lessee, is now sole proprietor, and intends to identify himself thoroughly with the interests of his house. With long experience as a hotel-keeper, he trusts, by moderate charges and a liberal policy, to maintain the favorable reputation of the Pacific Hotel. N".

A Word to the Young Men of our Country, and to Parents who have Sons to Educate. The very best school in this country is our home institution, East- man's National Business College, at Poughkeepsie, and we are sur- prised that every young man in our county, who has three months to spare and one hundred dollars, does not pursue the course of study there. This College is now attracting no little attention among edu- cators and business men, on account of its thorough practical course of business training by an interesting mode of instruction, combining theory and practice. So popular has this institution become, that at present there are twelve hundred students in attendance in the dif- ferent departments. It is patronized by a large number of our leading citizens. Particulars of the College may be obtained by addressing the president, Professor Eastman, at Poughkeepsie. SOCIETIES. Beacon Lodge, Xo. 283, F. & A. M., Matteawan.

Here is the garden she walked across, Arm hi ami such a short time since ; Hark, now I push its wicket, the moss Hinders the hinges and makes them wince ' She must have reached this shrub ere she turned, As back with that uvnrmer the wicket swung, Forshe laid the poor snail, my chance foot spurned, To feed and forget in the leaves among. Down this side of the gravel walk [box : She went, while her robe's edge brushed the And here she paused iu her gracious talk To point mf a moth ou the milk-white phlox. Roses, ranged in valiant row, I will never think that she passed yon by I She loves you, noble roses, I know ; But yonder see, where the rock plants lie ! This flower she stopped at, finger on lip, Stooped over, in doubt, as settling its claim; Till she gave me, with pride to make no slip. Its soft, meandering Spanish name. What a name ! Was it love or praise ] Speech half-asleep or song half-awake? I must learn Spanish, one of these days, Only for that slow, sweet name's sake. Roses, if I live aud do well, I may bring her one of these days. To fix you last with as fine a spell. Fit you each with his Spanish phrase ! But do not detain me now ; for she lingers There, like sunshine over the ground, And ever I see her soft, white fingers Searching after the bud she found. Flower, you Spaniard, look that you grow not — Stay as you are and be loved forever! Bud, if I kiss you, 'tis that you blow not, Mind, the shut pink mouth opens never' For while thus it pouts, her fingers wrestle. Twinkling, the audacious leaves between. Till round they turn and down they nestle, — Is not the dear mark still to he seen I Where I found her not, beauties vanish ; Whether I follow her beauties flee; Is there no method to tell her in Spanish [me. June's twice June since she breathed it with Come, bud. show me the least of her traces. Treasure my lady's lightest footfall. — Ah, you may flout and turn up your faces. — Roses, 70U arc not so fair after all !
