TOWN OF HAMPTONBURGH.
Decker’s.—This is a small settlement in a beautiful part of the country, on the road from Washingtonville to Goshen.— At this place the Messrs. Decker have had a cloth manufactory for many years. The locality and vicinity were settled as early perhaps as 1730; for shortly after that time_, in 1744, it was a missionary station, under the care of the London Missionary Society, with New Windsor and St. Andrews.—We refer the reader to our history of St. Andrew’s Church. At that time it was called “ St. David’s Corners,”—that being the name of the Episcopal Church there. The building was put up after 1770, but never finished, and during the Revolutionary war was used as a hospitalby the Americans. Shortly after that it was partly blown ‘over, and permitted to go to decay and was never rebuilt. The church authority is still in possession of the location and burying ground. Vincent Matthews, Esq., was an early patron of this church, and after him, Mr. Jonathan Brooks performed many kind and beneficial offices to preserve and perpetuate the establishment, by the payment of its debts, etc. These gentlemen lived in that vicinity. The name of the former has nearly run out in the county, while the descendents of the latter are numerous and respectable. Messrs. John I. Brooks of Bloominggrove, and Fletcher M. Brooks of this town are of this family. ,(note John I Brooks could possibly John L. or John J.)

Bloominggrove.—-The patent to John Van Horn, Christopher Denn, Peter. Mathews, Daniel Cromline, and others, in Bloominggrove, was granted in 1712, and contained 1000 acres. Washingtonville stands on this tract, which was sold in 1735 to Thomas Goldsmith for £200. It is quite evident from this that tl 's vicinity was not settled till after 1735.We believe that? Vincent Mathews, Esq., the ancestor of Messrs. John I. and Fletcher Brooks, who owned “Stonefield,” was instrumerital in settling this and other localities. We find his name on the roll of attorneys in Orange county as early as 1741, and that of Fletcher Mathews in 1753.-— The bounds of this patent begin at the Wigwam of Maringamus, and we have been told that at a certain time when the owners and surveyors came to locate and run it out, they slanted their Jacob Stall‘ in the ground at the door of this Indian Wigwam, and that when Maringamus saw what they were doing, and knowing what effect the settlement of the county would have upon him and his tribe, he walked-into

CORNWALL (new-york) COMMITTEE.
At a meeting of the Committee of Cornwall Precinct, in Orange County, held at the house of John Brewster, on Wednesday, the 30th of August, 1775, especially convened—present:
Hezekiah Howell, Esq., Archibald Little, Esq., E/ihu Marvin, Nathaniel Satterby, Nathaniel Strong, Jonathan Brooks, Stephen Gilbert, Zachariah Dubois, Thomas Moffat.
Several persons appeared and entered complaints against Captain Phinehas Rumsey, for violating the Resolves of our Provincial Congress, in the election of Military Officers (held on the 23d instant) for the Company whereof he was formerly Captain, and the allegations being supported by a number of evidences,
Upon motion made, Resolved, That the said Captain Phinehas Rumsey be ordered to appear before this Committee to-morrow, at four o'clock in the afternoon, at the house of John Brewster, with such evidences as he shall think proper to produce in his favour; and that his accusers, with their evidences, be ordered to attend likewise. Evidences ordered to attend, viz: Joseph Concklin, Moses Carpenter, William Heard, Jonathan Sears, Silas Person. And then the Committee adjourned till to-morrow, at four o'clock, P. M.

Thursday, August 31, 1775, 4 o'clock, P. M. The Committee met according to adjournment. Present: Hezekiah Hoiocll, Esq., Archibald Little, Esq., Elihu Marvin, Nathaniel Satterby, Nathaniel Strong, Stephen Gilbert, Thomas Moffat, Zachariah Dubois.
The business of the day being called, upon examination it appeared that the said Captain Phinehas Rumsey had received the citation from the Chairman of this Committee of yesterday, and that he did not intend to answer it; upon which, the evidences against him were called in, who declare, that the said Captain Phinehas Rumsey prevented the said Company from choosing their Non-Commissioned Officers; and when the people insisted on it as their right, by virtue of the Resolve of the Congress, he declared that he did not regard the Congress, or any other set of men whatever, or words to that purpose; which evidence being supported by Archibald Little, Esquire, and Nathaniel Satterby, (Members of this Committee, who attended the election aforesaid,) the Committee are unanimously of opinion that the said election ought to be set aside. Resolved, therefore, That the said election be set aside,
and it is hereby accordingly set aside, to all intents and purposes whatsoever, as much as if it had never been; and that the said Company be ordered to meet at the house of Daniel Reeve, on Saturday, the 2d of September next, at one o'clock in the afternoon of said day, for the purpose of choosing their Officers, agreeable to the directions of the Congress; and that Archibald Little, Esq., and Zachariah Dubois, attend the election.

[page 1904 of above - note that two of the names paired with "Jon. Brooks" match those of others at the Aug. 30 meeting above -- Henry Wisner was one of NY's delegates to the convention and seems to be acting as their agent to collect the debt and return the payment. Alternatively, the amount is to reimburse Wisner - who ran a gun powder mill - for powder provided to the three for use by militia in Cornwall.]
