Thomas Scharf (1886)] Some years after-wards David McCord, Jr., and William McConJ deeded to the trustees the ground, on which there is a very fine spring of pure water, from which it is said that General Washington was fond of drinking at the time his army was encamped in the valley near by. April 19, 1867, a second act of incorporation was passed by the Legislature, the society being styled " The Camp-Meeting Association of the M. E. Church of the City of New York." This association now owns the grounds, buildings and all the appurte-nances belonging to the Sing Sing Camp.
