RICHMOND ROAD, Current Courthouse is the third in Richmond, was erected in 1827. Across the road from St. Andrew's Church was the LaTourette House is on was once the location of a Revolutionary War-era fort, mills & quarries. In this was the headquarters for Lieut. Colonel John Graves Simcoe & his officers. Two battles actually took place here, at the near by St. Andrews Church.

REZEAU HOUSE, Said to be very old; is now the unpretentious southern portion of a saloon on the west side of the Fresh Kill Road just south of Center Street. . DUTCH REFORMED CHURCH SITE, Opposite the Rezeau house, on property now owned by William Flake at the southern corner of Center Street, formerly stood the Dutch Reformed Church; date of erection not known. As the first English missionary came to Staten Island about 1702 & held services in the French church at Green Ridge until St. Andrew's was finished in 1711, it is possible that the Dutch church was not standing at that time. This building was burned by the British "because it was a rebel church." About 1798, members of the Reformed Church at Port Richmond secured permission to erect a new house of worship on the foundations of the old, but curiously enough they spoke of it as "The Old French Protestant Church." It stands on the corner of Fresh Kill & Mill Roads. This building was completed in 1808 & was used up to about 1884, when it was abandoned & fell on evil times.

In 1700, he was one of the signers of a remonstrance against the Proprietors of NJ, asking for the appointment of a competent Governor. This apparently did not occur, as in 1701, he signed a similar petition to have the Province of NJ taken under protection of the King unless the Proprietors appointed a suitable governor. He was one of the earliest members of the Baptist church at Middletown. Research & transcriptions by PJ Ahlberg. Thank you. - - - | COX, Mary (I1515)

Felker Family History, 1981 March 23, by Mrs. T J Hutchison: Old Mrs. Felker was probably the first white woman to sleep in Garafraxa Township. This was a statement made by John Dobbin in a newspaper article in March 9, 1869 issue of Guelph Mercury. John Dobbin Sr. had come to the Carmel-Dracon area of Garafraxa Twp. in July 1826, with his family of 12 children, although some of the girls may not have come, for they married in Galt-Hespeler area. But John Dobbin records that they were preceded by the Felker, Headley & Meredith families in March 1826. This was over a year before the first tree was cut in Guelph. They came by way of what is now 15 Sideroad, but there was no road then, only the original survey done in 1821. (There should be a copy of this letter in the Museum, along with several other letters that ran in the Guelph Mercury about that time. In the article John Dobbin continued, Mrs Felker is still living on W half Lot 16, Con 7, 6th line, where she moved 43 years ago (1826) (but the newspaper clipping itself was not dated.) Family of Lewis & Mary Felker were: Abraham, William & John. Buried at Carmel. - - - | MEREDITH, Mary , DUE (I15)
