ms mm rn Today amd Yesterday ' To day, after a period of la4 years , Se tauket residents can point to a part of that old rock used as a fortres s by Col. Parsons and his troops while the skirmish with their foes lasted. It is said when the fight occurred Jno. Thomas Mount , who owned consider- able real estate in that neighborh ood owned the land which surr ounds the rock. For a short time he was also an owner ol the village grist mill and kept its wheels in motion. He came to Setauke t from Mon- mouth Count y, N. J. and settled at Setauket several years prior to the Revo lution and died here in 1820 . As far as t he writer carif find out all the damages done here by the raid made ' on the neighborhood by the Black Rock Expedition was confined to the former Presbyterian Chur ch built In 177C. This . bu ilding showed traces of the cannon balls. A few timbers were splintered and re pairs were made on it when the war was over. It was a singular coincidence tha t Zachariah Green should have been a young volunteer in tha t Black Rock force and hel ped to bombard the church. Later he studied for the min- istry—was orda ined and got a call , and preached in this same church and its successor, built in 1811, which now stands here. .The record shows that Rev. -Jr Green was born one of 13 children . He was born at Stafford. Connecticu t or Jan. 11 , 1760. He studied for the min- istry and graduated from Dartmo uth College in 1780 , and was in. due time licensed to preach. His first charge was a t cutchogue. L. I. where lie was settled June 38 , 1737. From this p la cE he removed to Setauket. Septem b er 27 1797. He remained here until lie be- came su peranuatcd about the begin- ning of the fifties of the preceding century. His lifelong record in detail written by himself telling of ihe part he took in the revolution is interesting. The old manse in which \Parson \ Greene and his family lived so long is In a good state of repair and -Still occu- pied. It Is now owned by Lawyer Ralph J. Hawkins, of Patchogue. , Was Good Fanner Rev. Mr. Green took quite an Int er- est in farming and he kept several acres that belonged to the old Pres by- terian \ Parsonage \ well cultivated. He also fanned on a tract of land he had bou ght on the upper Sheep P a sture road at Vasseakeig. This proper ty he called \ \ Mt. Pleasant.\ This was near where h is old wartime friend and com- rade Caleb Brewster was bom. T he most friendly relations always ex isted between Mr. Greene and the : . Brews ters living in this neighborhood. !
