HISTORY

WESTCHESTER

COUNTY

Town of Westchester " was not abolished until 1785, when, by a legislative act, it was changed to ki the Township of Westchester." Westchester borough was the birthplace in our county of the institution of the Established Church of England. On this point Mr. Fordham Morris, in his essay on tk The Borough Town of Westchester," takes occasion to correct some mistaken popular impressions. Some (lie says) have likened this ancient town to those of New England and Long Island, while others, zealous members of the Episcopal Church, have tried to make themselves and others believe that the town was a reproduction of an English parish of the eighteenth century, such as we read of in the Spectator or the tales of Fielding and Smollett. They fancy the squire in his high-backed pew, the parson in his wig, gown, and surplice, telling the congregation its duty to their Maker, and also as to the tithes, the royal family, the House of Hanover, and the Protestant succession.
