Well in the 1680's, when the church was founded, New York was New Amsterdam-- and for the next hundred years or so, it was an English colony, (where the Anglican church would have received tax/state suppport)

I don't know if the land in the glebe remained church property, and was sold off, or if the the glebe became township or common property. But the old borders of the glebe are marked by an avenue that has a 90 degree bend, since it was the path around the glebe.

Its not clearly marked, but Glebe Avenue is make a 90 degree turn– just about where the G of glebe is on the map.

The area remained "tory" during the war-- and after the war several families return to England rather than live in the Independant new country.
