Written on back: St. Matthews Church built in 1807-9 with funds from a legacy left by St George Talbot, a $500 grant from Trinity Church, NYC and private subscriptions. Previously, in March 1803, a house and 40 acres of land (occupied by Lemuel Light) was purchased for a glebe for $1625. "It appears the site selected for the church and rectory was a triangular piece of ground embracing 1.87 acres bought from Nathan Clarke."
