parish in 1819. In 1821, a committee appointed by the vestry to foreclose the land lately given by the late Rev. Theodosius Bartow, reported "that the same is accordingly foreclosed, by which the land becomes the property of the Church."0 In 1822 Mr. Kearny relinquished the rectorship, and was succeeded by the Rev. Pintard Bayard, A. M. This individual was born on the 23d day of July, 1791, at the residence of his great-uncle Elias Boudinot, LL.D., at Frankfort, near Philadelphia, Pa. His mother was the only daughter of Lewis Pintard, LL.D., of New York, whose long and devoted services to the Church have endeared him to the hearts of all who seek her welfare and pray for her peace. At the early age of three years, Lewis P. Bayard went to England with his father, who was sent by the United States Government to that country, we believe, on a private embassy. During his father's residence in London, young Bayard received the rudiments of an English education, and some knowledge of the French language.
