Did you know....On March 27, 1808 (more than a half century before Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation), that our church married two slaves, named simply "Judith, a slave of Peter Waldron, and William, a slave of Cornelius R. VanWyck."
During 2008 we are celebrating the 250th Anniversary of the church. Each week in the bulletin there is an Historic Moment and a Remembrance. Please add your comments or send us one of your remembrances of NHRC.
