" 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.
In July, 1S66, a dwelling house with about an acre of land on the south-east of the church property and immediately adjoining, was purchased as a rectory, for $7,900.
In April, 1867, the vestry received a deed from the executors of Robert B. Mintum, of certain lots in the village of Hastings, where a service on Sunday afternoons had been for years maintained, to enable them to erect a chapel, nearly $Soo for the purpose had already been donated by Admiral Farragut, being the first fruits of his prize money. His widow has since presented a handsome marble font.
The corner stone of Zion chapel was laid by the Rector of Zion church, on the 2d of Oct , 1867, and the building was occupied for Divine service the following summer. The chapel is a frame, gothic structure, and will seat 300 persons, and cost over $5,000. There was no debt upon it.
In the year 1869, the Parish church was again enlarged, by the addition of a recess-chapel with organ and vestry room, and the church was repaired throughout. The improvements cost $8,000, all paid for.
