648 HISTORY OF THE COUNTY OF WESTCHESTER.

Augustus van Cortlandt and William Constable, wardens; John Warner, Thomas Valentine, Isaac Vermilyea, Frederick Underhill, Shadrach Taylor, Isaac Lawrence, Stephen Oakley and Jacob Post, vestr)'men. In the first Convention of the Protestant Episcopal church in the diocese of New York, held in the city of New York, June 22d, 17S5, this church docs not appear to have been represented.

To the Convention of 1787, she sent her first delegates, Augustus van Cortlandt and Israel Hone>-%vell, Esqrs.

The principal benefactors to this parish, have been, the Hon. Frederick Philipse, Mark Noble, Esq., Augustus van Cortlandt, Esq.,« and the wardens and vestry of Trinity Church, New York.'^

In 1845, owing to the large increase of famiUes within this parish, and the uumerous calls made upon its officiating clergy, it was deemed advisable, after mature deliberation, to erect a patronage within the village of Yonkers. For this purpose, an order v/as obtained the same year from the Court of Chancery, to dispose of the old parsonage and glebe. These were finally sold for $6,500. With part of these funds, the present Rectory was built, the corporation reserving to themselves the burjing ground in the Saw Mill Valley.

A part of Philipse's point in the rear of the present rectory, appears to have been used as a grave-yard for strangers.
