[J. Thomas Scharf (1886)] all the right, title and interest of the people of this State in and to a certain lot of ground heretofore al-lotted by Frederick Phillips, to the Trustees of the Presbyterian Church and congregation of the Town of Mount Pleasant, in the county of Westchester, be and the same is hereby vested in said Trustees and their successors for the use of said church and congregation forever." The church edifice, which had been much injured OSSINING. 341 during the war, was repaired in 1788, and continued to be occupied as a place of worship until A. d. 1800, at which time it was deemed expedient to re-move the church to this village. In 1798 Colonel Moses Ward had offered a lot on PleasantSquare, upon condition that the church should be removed to Sing Sing. After earnest discussion the church and congregation resolved to accept the offer of Colonel Ward, and in the year 1800 a church edifice was built upon the lot which had been given by him for that purpose. In the edifice then built the congregation contin-ued to worship until the year 1834, at which time the building still standing on Pleasant Square, and occu-pied by Trinity Church, was erected under the super-vision of a building committee, composed of Messrs. Samuel Trowbridge, Clark Runyon, Kussel Barnum, Henry Harris and William Jennison.
