Excerpt from History of the Corporation of the Reformed Dutch Church of the Town of Brooklyn: Known as the First Reformed Dutch Church The compiler of this History removed from New York to Brooklyn in April, 1828, and immediately identified himself with this Church, and has been connected with it most of the time since. He has been a member of it longer than any male member for many years. He was Clerk of its Consistory for a long time, and also its Treasurer for years, was associated with its old members, and obtained from General Johnson, personally, many facts, which he has incorporated in these pages. He has submitted this manuscript to the Hon. Benjamin D. Silliman (the oldest male attendant of the Church), who pronounces it correct. He had access to all the minutes of the Consistory, and has noted, from time to time, all facts which he thought would be important in the History, and submits it to the members of the Church and congregation, and others, what he thinks will be the most complete history of the Church that has ever been published. He has availed himself of the translations of its history by the late Hon. Teunis G. Bergen, and had many intercourses with him in regard to the subject, and received from him much personal information of how he obtained the facts.
