History of Westchester County, New York — Passage 286
[J. Thomas Scharf (1886)] 1882 Rev. Patrick Mee. The present pastor is a native of Ireland, and came to St. Patrick's Church from Rhinebeck. The number of members is about eight hundred. The church is a handsome brick edifice with seats for five hundred people. The residence of the priest ad-joins it. There is also a cemetery in a lot attached to the church. Green's Cove. — Between Verplanck's Point and Montrose Point is located Green's Cove, so named from Isaac Green, a Vernionter, who in 1833 or 1834, began the manufacture of bricks there on land leased from Joshua T. Jones. At this place accordiug to an almost unquestioned tradition, was the terminus of the King's Ferry, though no marks of the landing place are now visible. Bolton places the location of the ferry on the southwest side of Yer|danck's Point. The King's Ferry road, however, did not pass over to Verplanck's Point for many years subsequent to the Revolution, on account of the existence of the marsh, (lately obliterated by the construction of Lake.Mea-hagh) in which the mud was almost bottomless, and the only mode of passage to and from the Point was over the northern end. The King's Ferry road, now the principal avenue to the Point, was until about 1837 a private way, with bars and gates across it. but at that date was opened by Mr. Henry.
