[Robert Bolton, Jr. (1848)] The parsonage is situated at a short distance from the church and stands on the site of the old building which was occupied for some time, during the Revolution, by the Yorktown Com-mittee of Public Safety. Here that tribunal transacted business, disarmed the disaffected, 'i-and punished the incorrigible. Here also a Convention of Congress assembled for the purpose of distri-buting commissions to those officers who were empowered to raise the militia. For the destruction of this obnoxious post, Colonel Robertson obtained of the English governor, a special order and the com-mand of a regiment. From New York, he appears to have pro-ceeded by water to Peekskill, wliere he landed, swearing he would burn up the d — d committee house, and guided by a spy, named Caleb Morgan, marched to Crompond, where he burnt the pirsonage, then used as a store house and arsenal. Upon the departure of the British troops, the continental guard took possession of the church. Episcopal services appear to have been occasionally performed in this village, as we find the Rev. Mr. Dibble in company with Mr. St. George Talbot, officiating here in 1762. The following year Mr. Dibble was succeeded by the Rev. Mr. Punderson of Rye.
