Matson Smith, John Eeid, Thomas Carpenter, Robert Givan, Gideon Coggeshall and James Somerville being trustees. On the 30th of May, 1812, it became a Presbyterian church in name as well as in fact, and was received into the care of the Presbytery of New York.

The first church edifice erected by the Presbyterians was built of wood, in the year 1815. In 18G0 it was removed, to make

room for a new building. It was fitted for use as a parsonage, and presented to the trustees fi)r that purpose by the late Albert Smith, M.D., of New Rochelle. The new church, built in 1860-^1, is constructed of stone, and occupies nearly the same position as the old one. Its cost when completed was about seventeen thousand dollars.
