[J. Thomas Scharf (1886)] There is a vane in shape of a banneret on the east end of the old Dutch Church of Sleepy Hollow, which was probably his own device, and put there by his own order, and into that is cut the monogram of the church's founder, in combination, representing in the Dutch orthography Vreedryck Felypse or Felypsen, while upon one of the two silver cups of the communion service given to the church by himself and his wife there is graven the name Frcdryck Flypse, and upon the other the name of his wife, Catharina Van Cortlant. His name alone with the same orthography is also graven upon the baptismal bowl. 174 HISTORY OF WESTCHESTER COUNTY.
