228 HISTORY OF THE COUNTY OF WESTCHESTER. 



again charged with intemperance, and suspended from the ministry — but 

 was restored again in 1738, "on the intercession of many good peo- 

 ple." Romeyn, in his history of the First Reformed Dutch Church at 

 Hackensack, says that "In 1709 the Dutch Church in Monmouth 

 County obtained the services of the Rev. Joseph Morgan, who was there 

 for twenty-two years." 6 Mr. Morgan was a preacher of considerable 

 note, and several of his discourses and sermons were published ; among 

 them, one on the death of his eldest son, Joseph, a graduate of Yale 

 College, 1723, and died the same year; a "Reply to a Railer against 

 the Doctrine of Election," 1724; " Sin its own Punishment," 1728; and 

 "Love to our Neighbors," third edition, 1749." In his letters dated at 

 Freehold in 172 1 and 1722, he speaks of his two sons, one aged 17 and 

 the other n, as "good scholars," and "one other son a little older;" 

 this is evidently the Joseph whose death is above alluded to.<* 



" At a town meeting held by ye freeholders of East Chester ye 26th of 

 January, 17", it was voted that Moses Fowler should have and enjoy all ye 

 land between ye land of Wm. Fowler that he bought of Joseph Morgan." 



On the 19th of February, 1717, James Morgan was appointed col- 

 lector of Eastchester. 



On the 15th of February, 1725, the names of James Morgan and 

 Thomas Morgan appear as freeholders of the town. 



To Mr. Morgan, as pastor of the Congregational or Presbyterian 

 church at Eastchester, appears to have succeeded the celebrated Wil- 

 liam Tennent.

 ing entries : "East Chester, the 27th day of January, 1703, Joseph Morgan, the son of Joseph 

 Morgan and Sarah his wife, was born the 12th day of March, 1701." This evidently records 

 the birth of Joseph the eldest son, graduate of Yale College, who died 23th November, 1723.

 July, 1702; Cornelia Morgan, the daughter of Joseph Morgan, was born the 31st day of Octo- 

 ber (1703). Entered by me, Edmund Ward, Recorder." " Andrew Morgan, the son of Joseph
