Excerpt from The Goodwill Memorial: Or, the First One Hundred and Fifty Years of the Goodwill Presbyterian Church, Montgomery, Orange Co, , N. Y The germ-thought in commencing this simple monograph in its present form was that of justice to the memory of the noble men who have served in the Eldership of this Church and have gone to their reward - men whom the present and after generations cannot afford to have forgotten. Throughout the work the strictest regard has been had to historical accuracy. The records in County Clerks' and Surrogates' offices both at Kingston and Goshen, in addition to whatever private papers could be reached, have been carefully searched. Much new light has been thrown upon the field, necessitating a thorough revision of the Historical Discourse. In the Discourse due credit is given to Rev. D. M. Maclise, D.D., for quotations from his sermon published in 1865. Grateful acknowledgment is hereby made of intelligence of the first importance furnished by Rev. J. R. Graham, D.D., of Winchester, Va., a son of a former honored Elder of this Church and whom this Church delights to honor. For facts and suggestions in reference to the early settlement of the community, thanks to Mr. E. M. Ruttenber and to his "History of Orange County and Newburgh." The account of the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary is from a full stenographic report made on that occasion.
