To this list should be added the name of the celebrated chief justice and royal governor, James de Lancey, who married the eldest daugh-ter of Caleb Heathcote. In addition to their civil functions, the pro-prietors of four of the manors (Cortlandt, Philipsebnrgh, Pelham, and Morrisania) enjoyed the right of advowson and church patron-age, under which they had the power to exercise controlling influ-ence in church matters within their domains. The prevailing sec-tarian tendencies of different localities in Westchester County during the colonial era and for many years subsequently were owing mainly to the particular religious preferences and activities of the respective manor lords of those localities. In Westchester, Eastchester, and Rye the Church of England early secured a firm foundation through the zeal of Colonel Caleb Heathcote, of Scarsdale, who was its earnest supporter.
