Postmaster of Village

"Daniel Wm. Birdsall, who was born in this village Oct. 27, 1767. He was the son of Daniel Birdsall, one of the early settlers of Peekskill. He served the town of Cortlandt as supervisor in 1821 and 1822. Like his predecessor, he was a federalist in his politics. He received his appointment from P. M. G. John Habersham, who filled that office during President Washington's last term. The office at that time was located in what has passed into history as the "Birdsall House," known in the days of the Revolution as a place of entertainment for the officers of the patriotic army, and at whose table Washington, Lafayette and Hamilton and many others of less note occasionally dined. Mr. Birdsall departed this life May 11, 1850. His remains rest In the family plot in Hillside cemetery, where they peacefully repose, guarded by those of his four wives, Eunice, Hephsa, Phebe and Aletta. The latter survived him nearly eight years, and her predecessors died in 1792
