The names and dates on the tomb- stones deserve attention. The oldest stone is a narrow bluestone slab, resting acrainst a cedar stump, and rudely marked by the initials " D. W. " and the date OLD KINGSTON: NEW YORK'S FIRST CAPITAL. 347 "1710. " Previous to this date, it is said, interments were made beneath the church, — not the present structure, but one nearly on the same site. The names De Witt, Ehiiendorf, Wynkoop, Ten- broeck, Oosterhoudt, Van Gaasbeek, etc. , betoken Holland ances- try ;... Severyn Bruyn tells 1 of Norwegian origin ; while Dumond, DuBois, Hasbrouck, commemo- rate French progenitors. The first glance within shows, above the pulpit, a memorial win- dow of rare beauty and value, recently present- ed to the church by Mr. David H. Houghtaling, of New York. The sub- ject is the Presentation in the Temple. Passing through the church, of noble pro- portions and severe Ro- man architecture, we find much to inspect. In the pastor's study, in the belfry, is an oaken chest, bearing the date 1676.
