NOTES



    [61] Dr. HEDGES was noted in the religious discussions of his day. It is erroneously asserted of him that he died of visitation of God for participation in the administration of the Holy Sacrament to a dog. His death was from a nervous fit, to which he was subject.

    [62] A few men whose resting place is marked in the cemetery have a more worthy life record than Matthew DU BOIS, grandson of the Huguenot immigrant at New Paltz; was engaged in sloop freighting in New Windsor; was in Col.
