The History of the Several Towns, Manors, and Patents of the County of Westchester (1881 revised edition, Vol. I)
Bartow makes report to the Convention of eighteen communicants, &c.
Mr. Bartow continued rector of this parish until June, 18 19, when he ceased the labors of the sanctuary and resigned his office. At a meeting of the vestry held Monday, June 7th, of that year, on motion it was resolved : -- " That the thanks of this Board be given to Mr. Bartow, to wit : -- " The vestry of Trinity church, New Rochelle, return the Rev. Theodosius Bartow their thanks for his long and faithful services in said church, and request that he will accept their wishes that the residue of his days may be serene, joyful and happy." His long service of nearly thirty years, is still cherished with grateful rememberance. On Friday, November the 12th, 1819, this venerable missionary of the cross was called from his earthly labors and sufferings on earth, we trust, to the enjoyment of that rest which remaineth for the people of God. His mortal remains repose in the grave yard on the west side of Trinity church, not far from the site of the old French church, in which, during thirty years of his ministry, he faithfully dispensed the word of life.
The following notice of his death appeared in the Christian Journal of Dec, 1 8 1 9 : -- " Died at New Rochelle, Westchester County, New Yofk, on Friday, November 12th, the Rev. Theodosius Bartow, in the 7 2d year of his age, for nearly thirty years rector of Trinity church in that place." Mr. Bartow married Jemima Abramse, by whom he left several children. The late Rev. John V. Bartow, rector of Trinity church, Baltimore, was his sixth son. The late Rev. Theodore Bartow and the late Rev. Henry B. Bartow, sons of Jacob Bartow, Esq., both of the Protestant Episcopal Church, were his grand-sons.
