During this year Governor Tryon also granted a special charter, in virtue whereof the vestry held a certain glebebof two hundred acres of land given by Colonel Beverly Robinson, senior warden of this parish, for the use of the Rector officiating one half of his time at St. Philipse's in the Highlands. This property was subsequently sold, as we shall have occasion to show, under an order of the Court of Chancery in 1S38, and equally divided between the two churches. Out of these funds (aided by a liberal donation from Trinity Church, New York, amounting to $1,000,) the present chapel was erected in the village of Peekskill.
