Tomb Stone Inscriptions Of The Old Burying Ground At St Andrews Church Richmond Staten Island PDF Download

Excerpt from Tombstone Inscriptions in the Old Presbyterian Burying Ground at Greenwich, New Jersey: With a Historical Sketch The principal object of this publication is to preserve in convenient form the names, dates and epitaphs found on the tombstones of former residents of Greenwich who lie buried in the grave yard, where once stood the old Presbyterian meeting-house by the great street, which beginning at the riverside, some two miles distant, leads to this hallowed ground. This highway has been in constant use for more than two hundred years, Up and down this ancient road have passed and repassed the men and women who have made the town their home since the arrival of the Qua ker colonists and the Connecticut settlers more than two centuries ago. Here, at the Head of Greenwich was built the early church, small, as was their numbers at first, but as the congregation increased in wealth and standing, replaced by a substantial even elegant structure of brick, which standing for a century, was for many years the centre of religious activity of the county.
