Benjamin Illingworth and Daniel Merritt were elected elders. The church, in October of the same year, became connected with the Presbytery of New York, and extended a call to the Rev. John H. Leggett, then a member of the Second Presbytery of New York. Mr. Leggett accepted the call, and was installed Decern-CORTLANDT. 393 ber 14, 1826. At the time of his departure, three years later, the number of members was twenty-four. Mr. Leggett died at Chester, N. Y., May 31, 1873. The Rev. William Marshall, a native of Scotland, shortly after his arrival in America, was made pastor of the church. The church during his ministry was transferred to the Second Presbytery of New York. His pastorate lasted until the fall of 1843. The number of members at that time was thirty-four. During his ministry unfortunate dissensions occurred which resulted, in 1841, in the withdrawal of nine members, and the establishment of the Second Pres-byterian Church of Peekskill. Mr. Marshall died near Delhi, New York, in October, 1865. The Rev. D. M. Halliday left a nourishing church at Danville, Pennsylvania, to become Mr. Marshall's successor. He was installed in his new position November 1,1843. In 184G, owing to the increase of the congregation the original edifice was removed to make way for another twice its size.
