It deserves to be mentioned that the former parsonage was erected by the vestry about 1 768, upon the church glebe which was purchased of Stephen De Lancey in 1766, just previous to the first rector's going to England for holy orders. From a petition to the court of Chancery in 1842, it appears that all the real estate then held or owned by the Rector, Wardens and Vestry -- except the church edifice and a small lot of land on which it stood -- consisted of about six acres of land situated in the town of North Salem and bounded as follows, viz :

" On the west by land cf Charles Cable and land of Epenetus Howe, and on the north by the land of Benjamin B. Gray, on the east by land of the above named Epenetus Howe, and on the south by the highway leading from Ridgefield to Somers."a This property was donated to the, church by John Wallace and Benjamin Close.

In 1767-8, the church was furnished by the Venerable Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, with a parochial library and a quarto Bible and Prayer Book. The old Bible, which is handsomely bound in parchment and printed by Mark Baskctt, printer to the University of Oxford, A.D. 1765, was exchanged in 1S50 for the present 1 e now in use, by some members of the Vestry, and removed by the I* . .
