In the south-east corner of the yard, lie the mortal remains of Colonel Green, the hero of the Red hank, and Major Flagg his brave companion in arms, both of whom fell by the hands of cruel treachery, on the morning of the 14th of May, 1781. But where shall we look for a monument or even a stone to mark the spot where these brave patriots lie pillowed in the dust? When will justice be rendered to the memory of the brave and illustrious dead who fell in the noble cause of freedom?

■m^' -■ HISTORY OF THE

The parsonage is situated at a short distance from the church and stands on the site of the old building which was occupied for some time, during the Revolution, by the Yorktown Committee of Public Safety. Here that tribunal transacted business, disarmed the disaffected, 'i- and punished the incorrigible. Here also a Convention of Congress assembled for the purpose of distributing commissions to those officers who were empowered to raise the militia.

For the destruction of this obnoxious post, Colonel Robertson obtained of the English governor, a special order and the command of a regiment. From New York, he appears to have proceeded by water to Peekskill, wliere he landed, swearing he would burn up the d -- d committee house, and guided by a spy, named Caleb Morgan, marched to Crompond, where he burnt the pirsonage, then used as a store house and arsenal.

Upon the departure of the British troops, the continental guard took possession of the church.
