His name is not mentioned after 1750, and where he finally settled and died we have not the means at hand of knowing.

The next minister of the Presbyterian Church was Rev. Samuel Sacket, son of the Rev. Richard Sacket, minister of the Second Society of Greenwich in 17 i7,who was, in all probability, installed pastor here by the Presbytery of New Brunswick. He acted also as a sort of missionary n this part of the country, and in 1747 Crumpond obtained his services for half of his time; he supplied Salem, also, and Peekskill. In December 1749, he was released from his labors in Crumpond, now York town, and gave the whole of his time to Bedford ; but resigned the care of the Church here in April 4th, 1753, the affections of the people being alienated from him after ten years' labor. He left here and settled at once over the Church of Hanover in Cortland Manor. He was dismissed from here on April 1st, 1760, and the next year was installed again in Crumpond. The Church Missionary of Hanover, immediately wrote to England that the new light preacher had left them. Mr. Sacket had a great deal of trouble with his brethren in the Presbytery, as he differed widely from them in both the doctrines and government of the Church. He preached for twenty years in Yorktown or Crumpond, and finally died there June 5th, 1784 His tomb in the cemetery bears record that he was judicious, faithful, laborious and successful in his ministry.
