There is also a deed from 1747 in which Johannes Ter Boss sells a parcel of land north of the Fishkills, reserving 1 acre for a meeting house. Every published history has this acre being for the Rombout Presbyterian Church, which was built in 1747 about 3 miles from First Reformed

SOURCE - FISHKILL (Village) from Chapter XLIV (History of the Town of Fishkill) HISTORY OF DUTCHESS COUNTY by JAMES H. SMITH 1882

(Part One)The first settlers in FISHKILL VILLAGE, says Mr. Bailey, were Henry TERBOSS and Henry Rosekrame, but the name of neither appears in the list of inhabitants in Duchess County, in 1714, though both appear in the list of freeholders in 1740. TERBOSS, he says, was an eccentric man, and since he locates him where he elsewhere locates Johannes TEBROSS (TERBUSH,) we are inclined to think he has confounded the two names. The name of Johannes TERBOSS appears in the list of 1714. It is one of varied orthography, and has, says Mr. BRINCKERHOFF, who pronounces him one of the first representative men in this part of the County, either been changed from it original or otherwise has now become extinct among us. He was an early Justice of the Peace and is spoken of in old manuscripts as being a Judge. He was admitted as a Representative in the Colonial Assembly, May 4, 1717, on the death of Baltus VanKLEECK, and was succeeded at this death by Henry BEEKMAN, August 31, 1725. He owned lands about FISHKILL village, including the site of the Dutch Church, which was purchased from him.
