The first delegates from this parish to the Diocesan Convention, in 1787, were Pliilip Pell, sen., and Thomas Bartow.
From the church records we extract the following curious item : --
" At a meeting of the vestry, held at the house of William Crawford on Saturday, the 7lh of May, 1791 -- present Stephen Ward, Abraham Valentine, John G. Wright, Isaac Ward, Lewis Guion, and Thomas Bartow --
" Marcus Christian, the sexton to the church in Eastchester, was sent for and examined respecting the bell's being rung on Saturday, the 30th of April, on the family of James Bogart's moving out of this place ; which charge he denied, and, on his examination, said he was lame, in bed, and was not at the church on that day. He was further examined on his former conduct, on his selling licure in the belfrie of the church, on a training day, which he acknowledged.
