A pretty intriguing piece of history in Fyshkill.  

Finished in 1731, the church served as a prison and state government seat during the revolutionary war.  A large number of graves recorded the years and months of age but the specific days – maybe each day was precious to the folks of Fyshkill.  The ages of those buried here are amazing – I was struck by how many were over the age of 60.  

There is a interesting Book with Tombstone Inscriptions from the churchyard.
