Immediately after the Revolution, the inhabitants of Eastchester appear to have associated themselves with the parish of Yonkers, under the charge of the Rev. Elias Cooper. This connection was dissolved about 1798. From the year 1800, to cir. 1837. Eastchester was alternately united to Westchester and New Rochelle ; but for the last ten years it has supported its own incumbent.

The village grave yard which lies on the south and west side of the church, is one of the most extensive in the county.

The earliest tombstones bear the following inscriptions :
