Whoe'er thou art, with silent footsteps tread The hollow mould where lie reclines his head; Let not thoughtless mirth one tear deny, But pensive, pause, where truth and honour lie. His gay wit that fond attention drew, Oft heard delighted hy the friendly few; The heart, that melted" at another's grief ; The hand, in secret, that bestowed relief. Perhaps e'en now, from yonder realm of day, To his lov'd relatives he sends a ray : Pleased to behold affections like his own, With filial duty raised this votive stone.

HISTORY OF THE COUNTY OF WESTCHESTER.

There are also memorials to members of the Horton, Miller and Seaman families.

The Episcopal church occupies a very pleasant position directly north of the main street. The building is a neat wooden structure, valued at $15,000. The foundation of the present edifice was laid A D. 1823, and the church consecrated to God on the 17th of June, 1823, under the name and title of St. Thomas's church, Mamaroneck, by the Right Rev. J. H. Hobart, Bishop of the diocese. Previous to the Revolution, Mamaroneck constituted one of the appropriated towns of Rye parish, having been annexed thereto by acts of assembly, passed in 1693-7. In 1725, Mamaroneck contributed towards the rectors' tax, £18, and in 1767, £19, 2S. 6d. The name of John Disbrow (vestryman from Mamaroneck) occurs in the church records of Rye, A.D. 1710. The parochial clergy appear to have officiated here at a very early period, as Madame Knight incidentally mentions in 1704, "that one Church of England parson officiated in all these three towns," viz., Rye, Mamaroneck and Horseneck, "once every Sunday in turns throughout the year." The French clergy of New Rochelle, also performed occasional services here ; this we learn from the records of Trinity church.
