"Eastchester is located north of the present Mount Vernon. Within the limits of Mount Vernon on the edge of Eastchester, there was a genuine country store and not far away a gloomy old stone house once occupied by the Couderts; and within sight is the cross-capped spire of old St. Paul's Church with its graveyard more then two centuries old (there are no Vincent stones in this graveyard) and its tradition of Revolutionary days, when the British made a hospital of the newly completed edifice.

"It was here that one of the rectors was that Seabury who afterwads became the first Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the U.S. Among many interesting treasures of teh church is a silver cup presented to the parish by the mother of George Washington Adams in remembrance of the sevice rendered by a warden in recovering from Eastchester Creek the body of her son which had been drowned in the sound. The body was brought ashore near the house occupied for a time by his grandfather, President John Adams, during the prevalence of yellow fever at Philadelphia. The elaborate wooden gateway of this house is visibld from the southern approach to the Eastchester Bridge..."
