The present church edifice was erected in 1847 (upon land pur- 

 chased of Tompkins D. Wallace, the year previous), and dedicated on 

 the 15th of October, of the same year. From a date on a semi-circular 

 stone, lying in front of the door, we learn that the old church, or meet- 

 ing house, which stood east of the present building, was erected as early 

 as 1764, upon land given by Jesse Close. This is confirmed by the 

 following items, taken from an old account book in the possession of 

 Mr. John Close : 



"October, the year 1764, T. Ebenezer Brown, of Salem, have receiv- 

 ed of Samuel Cole, of Cortlandt manor, the full and just sum of five 

 pounds, received by me on the acompt of the Meetin House." 



" November the 20th, the year 1764, Ebenezer Brown, of Salem, have 

 received of Solomon Close two pounds, seven shillings and tenpence, on 

 the accompt of the Meetin House. Received by Ebenezer Brown."
