Upon the 19th of November, 1702, the Rev. John Bartow was inducted by Govcrnour Cornbury, into the parish church of Westchester, Eastchester, Yonkers and the Manor of Pelham, notwithstanding all the means used to prevent and disturb his settlement by the Independents; and as no "good Orthodox Protestant minister" had been maintained in this parish, in accordance with the late act, Mr. Bartow was considered legally inducted, and settled over all the rights and appurtenances of Westchester parish, of which the church at Eastchester formed a part. This fact the Independents or Presbyterians themselves acknowledged by paying their quota of j£$o per annum, towards Mr. Bartow's support, according to the first settlement in 1693.
