Crosby, in 1833. St John's church, Yonkers, having for nearly seventy years previously, constituted the only benefice in the manor of Philipsburgh. On the 31st of August, 1833, the church was incorporated under the name and title of " The Rector, Church- wardens, and Vestrymen of Zion church, in the town of Greenburgh." "Joseph Howland and Oscar Irving, Church-wardens ; Van Burgh Livingston, Anthony Constant, William Waring, Cornelius M. Odell, Adam Storms and Everet Brown, Vestrymen."*

Zion church stands upon the highest ground in the village of Dobb's Ferry, near the Albany Post-road. The wonderfully extensive views which this elevated spot commands on every side, are better seen than described. This edifice has been almost wholly rebuilt and enlarged to three times its original size, during the past year, and was consecrated on the 24th of July, 1854, by the late Rt. Rev. the Provisional Bishop of the Diocese.

" The ground which it occupies was the gift of Van Burgh Livingston, Esq. The foundation of the old edifice was laid as we have seen in 1833, and the church consecrated to the service of Almighty God, on Tuesday, the 20th of May, 1834, by Bishop Onderdonk. There are two or three interments in the grave-yard, surrounding the church, of members belonging to the Noble, Bowdoin and Irving families.
