In tlie grave-yard surroufiJing the church are monuments to Captain Samuel Sackett, Deacon Knapp, Dr. Brewer, and others.

DR. JAMES BREWER,

a native of Massachusetts,

but for I'laiiy 3"ears a pmctisiag Physician

in Yorktown.

Whilst visiting a patient in Jefferson Valley, he -was

captured by Cow-boys, and trying- to escape in Hog

Lane, was killed by them, November 20th, 17S0,

aged 39 years, 4 months and 7 days.

In the south-east corner of the yard (just thirty-six feet from the present east fence and six feet from the south fence;, he the mortal remains of CoL Christopher Green, the hero oi Redbank, and IMajor Flagg, his brave companion in arms, both of whom fell by the hands of cruel treachery, on the morning of the 14th of May, 1 7S1. But where shall we look for a monument, or even a stone, to mark the spot where these brave patriots lie pillowed in tlie dust ? When will justice be rendered to the memory of the brave and illustrious dead, who fell in the noble cause of freedom ?
