The earliest historical reference to the First Reformed Dutch Church of Fishkill Village, is found in the third volume of the Documentary History of New York, page 589, where the following paper is recorded : " Petition for aid to erect a church at Fish creek, Dutchess Co. To His Excellency John Montgomerie Esqr. Capt. Generall and Governor in Chief in and over his Majesties' Provinces of New York and New Jersey and the Territories depending thereon in America, and Vice Admirall of the same &c The humble Petition of Peter Du Bois and Abraham Musy, Elders, and Abraham Blinker- hof and Hendrick Phillips, Deacons, of the Dutch Reformed Protestant Church of the fish Creek in Dutchess County in the Province of New York in behalf of themselves and the Rest of the members of the said Church IV INTRODUCTION. Humbly Sheweth That the members of the said Congregacon, be- ing in daily expectation of a minister from hol- land to preach the Gospel amongst them ac- cording to the Cannons, Rules and Discipline of the Reformed Protestant Churches of the united Netherlands, and therefore have agreed amongst themselves to erect and build a Con- veniant Church for the Publick worship of God, nigh the said fish creek in the County aforesaid, but finding that the said building will be very Chargeable, and therefore as in the like cases has been Practised and is usuall in this Province they would desire the aid and help and assist- ance of all Charitable and well disposed Chris- tians within this Province for the Compleating of the said Building They therefore most humbly Pray for your Excellency's Lycence to be granted to the said Elders and Deacons of the said Protestant Con- gregacon to collect gather and Receive the benevolence and free gifts of all such Inhabitants of this Province as shall be willing to contribute somewhat toward the erecting and building such Church as aforesaid for the Publick service of almighty God, and that only for such time as INTRODUCTION. V your Excellency will be pleased to grant the said Lycence, in behalf of the Elders and Deacons and other the members of said Congregacon 28th June 1 73 1. Piter Du Bois." T. Van Wyck Brinckerhoff, Esq., in his histori- cal sketch of Fishkill states " that although the building of the church is not positively stated in the above petition, yet in a certain bond bearing date the same year it is clearly stated that they ' had agreed and built a church,' and that there was a Glebe attached to the Church, which Glebe land was purchased in two different lots — one containing seven and almost one-half acres was purchased from Madame Brett — the other portion ' containing three quarters of an acre and fifteen rods with the appurtenances whereon to erect a church or house for the service or worship of them, in manner and form as aforesaid, for the inhabitants of the Fishkill or South Ward and their heirs and as- signs forever' was purchased from Johannis Terboss — and this was the first church built in Rombout Precinct " Probably the fullest description extant of the appearance of both the present church and the VI INTRODUCTION. one which preceded it is given by Henry Du Bois Bailey, Esq., in his historical sketch of Fish- kill Village. Mr. Bailey says : " The old church was built of stone in the year 1731. In shape it was quadrangular and the roof came up from all sides to the centre. From the apex of the roof ascended the cupola, in that the bell was suspended, and surmounting the cupola was the bird which veered with the wind and told from what quarter of the compass it came. In front of the church was large oak tree whose limbs extended across the street. The church was used as a prison during the Revolution and the celebrated spy Enoch Crosby who figured in Cooper's writings as Harvey Birch was con- fined there, and tradition says that he made his escape on one dark stormy night by leaping from an upper window to a limb of this tree. The tree was taken down when the present edifice was erected, but the exact year of rebuilding is not definitely known, the records of that portion of the church's history being lost, but it must have been only a few years after the Revolution. When the present edifice was built the church was enlarged and extended further west on Main Street, covering Madame Brett's family burying plot, and she and some of her children INTRODUCTION. Vll and grandchildren repose under the present church. On the rebuilding, a tower and steeple were added and the height of the spire is 1 20 feet. The walls are three feet thick and thirty- feet in height. The timbers placed upon the walls to support the roof and tower are of oak and of enormous size, and the building ap- pears as durable now as when first finished. The architect's name was Barnes, and every timber, load of stone, lime and sand was carted to the ground by the congregation gratuitously. There has been no alteration in the exterior of the church except a recess in the rear wall. The interior has been remodeled several times. Originally the galleries were supported from the ceilings with iron rods fastened to the tim- bers above the arch. Then there were no columns in the church to distract the view and the pulpit and side pews were elevated six inches above the floor. The first alteration was made in 1806, when the iron rods were taken down, the pulpit and side pews lowered, and columns placed underneath the galleries. The second alteration was made in 1820, when the entrance on Main Street was closed, the pews all taken up, new aisles made, pews lowered, and one entrance only, and VUl INTRODUCTION. that in the tower. The third and last alteration was made in i854, when the interior was en- tirely remodeled, with new and modern pews and pulpit, the galleries narrowed and low- ered, and a number of pews added to the audience room, and a furnace placed under- neath." The churchyard surrounding the church was used by the members of the congregation as a place of burial at least as early as January, 1737, and probably earlier, and the latest interment appears from the gravestones to have been made in October, 1880, the congregation, since that time, using as a place of sepulchre, the handsome grounds of the Fishkill Rural Cem- etery.
