 PREFACE. 
 
 The principal object of this publication is to preserve 
 in convenient form the names, dates and epitaphs found 
 on the tombstones of former residents of Greenwich who 
 lie buried in the grave yard, where once stood the old 
 Presbyterian meeting-house by the "great street," which 
 beginning at the riverside, some two miles distant, 
 leads to this hallowed ground. 
 
 This highway has been in constant use for more than 
 two hundred years. Up and down this ancient road 
 have passed and repassed the men and women who have 
 made the town their home since the arrival of the Qua- 
 ker colonists and the Connecticut settlers more than two 
 centuries ago. 
 
 Here, at the Head of Greenwich was built the early 
 church, small, as was their numbers at first, but as the 
 congregation increased in wealth and standing, replaced 
 by a substantial even elegant structure of brick, which 
 standing for a century, was for many years the centre of 
 religious activity of the county. 
 
 Here we find, as we reverently move among the graves 
 the names of men and women who living in the vicinity 
 worshipped in the old meeting-house, and dying were 
 buried in the yard surrounding it. Among those lying 
 here are soldiers of the Revolution, men active in the 
 affairsof church. State and country; with their helpmates 
 beside them, women honored for their industry, good 
 ness and self-sacrifice, worthy ancestors of those who 
 trace their lineage to the early inhabitants of Greenwich.

 Not every old grave yard has with,,, its boundaries 
 the remains of so many worthy men and women as tW 
 enclosure at the Head of Greenwich. No, infrequently 
 the hfeof an .ndividnal may be summed up by the 
 words: Born I.ved, and died, so little is there to be saM

 The history of the Presbyterian Church, published in 
 I87r,was written by Dr. Enoch Fithian, whose residence 
 was but a short distance from the entrance to this old 
 church yard m which his parents are buried. Born 
 May.o ,79., he lived over one hundred years, dying 
 November ,5, ,89a. The writer acknowledges his in 
 debteduess to this excellent history of the Church "n

HISTORICAL SKETCH. 
 
 The first settlers of Greenwich were Friends, or Qua- 
 kers, from John Fenvvick's Colony at Salem, some of 
 whom secured deeds to their sixteen acre lots before 1690 
 and laid the foundation of a town. 
 
 In 1692 the West New Jersey Society purchased a 
 large tract of land in the county which they were desir- 
 ous of selling to actual settlers. This opportunity to 
 secure rich fertile land under favorable conditions led to 
 the removal of a company of men and women from Fair- 
 field County in Connecticut, part of whom located alonj; 
 the river on the Society's land, and estahli.sh.ed there the 
 the township of Fairfield. The others united with the 
 Quakers in developing the settlement already commen- 
 ced, to which they gave the name of Greenwich, from 
 the town whence they came. 
 
 The West New Jersey Society through their liberality 
 and for the encouragement of the New England settlers, 
 prevailed upon Rev, Thomas Bridge, an English clergy- 
 man of undoubted ability and piety to settle among the 
 people of Fairfield. 
 
 Although no church records are known to exist, Mr. 
 Bridge, coming in 1695, spent nearly nine years among 
 them, ministering to their spiritual welfare. 
 
 The date of the organization of the church at Green- 
 wich is unknown, the early record.s having been destroy- 
 ed. It is quite likely Mr, Bridge preached to the 
 Greenwich people, possibly assisted in the formation 
 of a church there, either before or upon the arrival of 
 
5 HISTORICAL SKETCH. 
 
 Mr, Black, for it is doubtful if the Connecticut settlers 
 of Greenwich would long remain without a religious 
 teacher. Little is known regarding Mr, Black or how 
 long he remained in Greenwich. He was in Lewes, 
 Delaware in 1708, probably having severed his connec- 
 tion with the church in West Jersey, 
 
 The church records previous to 1747 are lost, and the 
 only earlier paper in possession of the society is a deed 
 of gift from Jeremiah Bacon to Henry Joyce and Thomas 
 Maskell for "one acre of land in trust for the people 
 called Presbyterians, on the north side of Cohansey to 
 build and establish a meeting house for the public wor- 
 ship of God," dated April 24 1717. 
 
 On this ground it is supposed a frame building was 
 erected, small, but sufficient for their u.se. 
 
 Doubtless the friendship existing between the resi- 
 dents of Fairfield and Greenwich was such that when the 
 former had a minister, the latter also had the advantages 
 of his teaching, either by joining with them in their log 
 cabin by the Cohansey, or he ministered to them on 
 stated occasions. Such it is believed to have been 
 the case with Rev. Henry Hook, who from 17 18 to 1722, 
 preached to the two congregation on alternate Sundays, 
 
 Supplies were doubtless sent from time to time by the 
 Presbytery under whose protection they were. 
 
 It was not however until 1728 that Greenwich had a 
 settled minister, when Rev. Ebenezer Goold, a native of 
 Guilford Conn., (Yale 1723,) was ordained ami installed 
 pastor. Soon after his settlement he married Aniie 
 Brewster, a descendant of Elder William Brewster who 
 came in the Mayflower to Plymouth in 1620. A parson- 
 age was built for their accommodation on land virtually 
 given the society by Nicholas and Leonard Gibbon, 
 large land owners, who though of the Episcopal faith

 were desirous of building up the town. The deed was 
 for six acres and dated June 13, 1729-30, "in respect 
 that they have to the Presbyterian inhabitants or De- 
 scenting Presbyterians inhabitants of the north side of 
 Cohansey and also for the sum of five shillings"

 When built, the church was forty four feet in length, 
 thirty five in width and two stories in height, the walls 
 were of brick and when the roof was put in place it is 
 said the congregation worshiped there, it being several 
 years before completion. Tlie pews, l)ui]t at the pew 
 holders expense, were placed on a raised platform follow- 
 ing the wall, on the floor which was of brick, benches 
 were placed. A broad aisle extended from the entrance 
 on the east to the pulpit at the west. At first built stairs 
 to the gallery were on the outside, later changed to the 
 interior. There were deep galleries in front and on the 
 sides. The pulpit was the crowning glory of the church; 
 it is said to have been made in Boston. In shape it was 
 hexagonal with sounding board of the same shape orna- 
 mented by different colored woods inlaid, the princpal 
 oraamant being a star radiating from a circle near the 
 centre, within the circle was another sta;-, the material 
 being black walnut. 
 
 When completed in 1751, the church was the largest 
 she most imposing edifice in this part of West Jer.sey. 
 
 Mr. Goold's wife died July 16, 1739, aged 36 years, 
 and was buried under the communion table of the church 
 then recently erected. About this time the parsonage 
 was burned with the furniture it contained and probably 
 the church records also.

 out dismission by the Presbytery, and in 1740 was in- 
 stalled pastor of the church in Cutchogue, a parish of 
 Southold, in Long Island. 
 
 For six years the church had no regular minister, du- 
 ring the time eminent divines preached to the people at 
 infrequent intevals. The celebrated Whitefield came to 
 Greenwich in 1740, so great a number assembled to hear 
 him the church could not hold them and he spoke in a 
 grove near by. Gilbert Tennent and Rev. Dr. Samuel 
 Finley also visited Greenwich. In 1743 Mr. William 
 Dean preached there, but it was not until September 
 4th 1746 the church had a settled minister, when Rev. 
 Andrew Hunter was installed. Mr. Hunter not only 
 served the church at Greenwich, but that of Deerfield, 
 preaching every third Sabbath at the latter place until 
 1760, A parsonage, with a farm of one hundred and five 
 acres was purchased May 3, 1754, for Mr. Hunter. 
 
 Rev. Andrew Hunter, who was born in Ireland about 
 17 15, was licensed to preached by the New Brunswick 
 Presbytery May 28, 1745, and the foUowirg year .settled 
 at Greenwich. After 1760, he served the church at 
 Greenwich only. He is said to have been an ardent 
 patriot and the church a gathering place for supplies for 
 the soldiers which were stored there until conveyed to 
 them. He died July 28, 1775, aged 60 years. 
 
 During the Revolutionary war the church was suppli- 
 ed by Rev. Mr. Keith, Rev. Andrew Hunter Jr., a neph- 
 ew of the late pastor, and others. 
 
 It was during Andrew Hunter's pastorate that the 
 church attained its greatest prosperity, the congregations 
 were large, and included a good proportion of the intelli- 
 gent, influential and wealthy residents of the county. 
 
 Rev. George Faitoute took charge of the congregation 
 August 18, 1781, was installed pastor April 8, 1782, and 
 dismissed in 178S or 1789. 
 
9 HISTORICAL SKETCH. 
 
 A society having been formed and a meeting hou^e 
 built in Bridgeton, they united with the Greenwich con- 
 :5regationin installing Rev. William Clarkson, November 
 1794, pastor of both churches. He was dismissed in 1801. 
 
 In 1802 Rev. Alexander Boyd tilled the pulpit for a 
 short time. The following year Rev. Hezekiah Wood- 
 ruff ministered to the congregations, but was not accept- 
 able to all, however they agreed upon Rev. Jonathan 
 Freeman who was installed pastor of both churches, Oc- 
 tober 16, 1805. He died November 17, 1822. 
 
 Efforts to secure a pastor cojointly with Bridgeton 
 having failed, Rev. Samuel Lawrence was installed pas- 
 tor of the Greenwich church November 10, 1824. 
 
 The old church after one hundred years of use was 
 deemed unsatisfactory and a more modern structure 
 erected on the opposite side of the highway. The new 
 building was dedicated May 5, 1836, and the church 
 has since been served by the following clergymen: Rev. 
 Shepard Kosciusco Kollock; Rev. John S. Stewart; Rev. 
 Henry E. Thomas; Rev. William Smitz; Rev. J. C. Lev- 
 engood; Rev. F. S. Breunemen; Rev. L C. Wainwright, 
 and Rev. J. Calvin Kranse, the present incumbent. 
 
 Before the old brick church was built the dead were 
 buried in places set apart for the purpo.'^e on the farms 
 of the members of the congregation. The ground about 
 the church then became the place of sepulchure and 
 remained until it was so filled with graves, that in 1863, 
 a cemetery was laid out by the present church, and bur- 
 ials were seldom made in the old yard. 
 
 Among the stones in the old grave yard are nearly a 
 score of tablets commemorating the virtues of the honor- 
 ed dead, that of Rev. Andrew Hunter marking the site 
 of the old church he .served .so long and faithfully, his 
 remains having been buried under the broad aisle. 
 
HISTORICAL SKETCH. lO 
 
 On one side of the tomb of Rev. Andrew Hunter, as 
 it stands today, is a marble slab in memory of Amie 
 Goold, wife of Rev. Ebenezer Goold, who died July i6. 
 1739, and was buried beneath the floor where the com- 
 munion table stood in the newly erected meeting-house. 
 
 An interesting event in the history of Greenwich took 
 place December 22, 1774, when a party of young men 
 disguised as Indians burned a cargo of East India tea, 
 recently lauded and stored in the village. Four num- 
 bers of the tea party are buried in this yard: Thomas 
 Ewing, James B. Hunt, Joel Fithian and Joel Miller, 
 
 Enos Ewing, who though but a boy, was according 
 to local tradition with the party that eventful evening 
 when the tea was destroyed, is also buried here.

 Mrs. Andrews, who is a native and former resident of 
 Greenwich, and familiar with the old grave yard from 
 childhood, has written for this publication the verses 
 which appear on the following page. 
 
THE OLD GRAVE YARD. 
 
 At every morn the light of day, 
 Reveals to those who pass this way 
 These time stained stones of ancient date, 
 And old, old tablets near the gate. 
 
 We find the hero, old time slave, 
 The aged settler, soldier brave. 
 The old divine, physician's wise; 
 From many climes the dead here lies. 
 
 The old time mother struggled through 
 Her burdened cares, in country new; 
 And oft we find, close by her side 
 Her darling child, her joy, her pride. 
 
 The spreading oak does slowly grow 
 Whose branches, western breezes blow 
 O'er shadows graves, to all unknown. 
 For many are, unmarked by stone. 
 
 The willow weeps in solitude 
 Displaced the stones that near it stood; 
 Has grown in beauty as it waves 
 And softly murmurs o'er the graves. 
 
 These printed pages, here you'll find 
 Perchance the sire you had in mind. 
 The name, the date, the epitaph 
 Is here preserved, in your behalf.
