History of Westchester County, New York, Vol. I
It is as full of ec- I clesiastical bigotry .is of re.-^jarcli, and ought to be entitled, " A History of Episcopacy in the County of Westchester." Jtore than ten times the I space accorded to all other denominations is given to this one, and the matter introduced is often tediously minute, dry and uninteresting.
HISTOKY OF WESTCHESTER COUNTY.
It is to be hoped that the great debt which the town of Pclham owes and must forever owe to the members of the Bolton family will never be forgotten. Their names ought to be cherished along with that of the father and founder of the manor itself.
The Pelham Manor and Huguenot Heights Association is an incorporated company, formed about the year 1875, for the improvement of that part of the town lying between the station of the Harlem Branch of the New York and New Haven Railroad and the Boston turnpike road. The new village thus formed has grown rapidly, and is for many reasons a very desirable place of residence. It is easily accessible from the Pelhamville Station of the New Haven Railroad, so that a large number of trains upon both roads are available daily, and almost hourly.
The Huguenot Memorial Chapel, a pretty Presbyterian Church, was built to accommodate the residents of that denomination. It was opened for worship on the 9th of July, 1876, under the pastoral care of the Rev. Charles E. Lord. The Rev. Daniel N. Frecland is the present pastor.
As a place of residence, this part of Westchester County presents decided claims to public regard. The rapid growth of the city of New York, the rise of rents there and the pressure of the population on this account into the surrounding country, render it certain that the suburban towns and villages must ultimately and indeed speedily share in its prosperity.
