Synopsis

The Title, Parish Rights And Property Of Trinity Church, New York: From The Appendix To Bishop De Lancey's Twentieth Conventional Address, Delivered In Oswego, August 19, 1857 by William Heathcote De Lancey presents a historical and legal account defending Trinity Church's title, parish rights, and use of property in New York. It compiles documentary evidence and narratives regarding disputes with Anneke Jans heirs, the State's claims, the Act of 1814 and its implications for church corporators, and the church's governance and endowment practices. The text outlines prior lawsuits, key decisions, and the Vestry's management, including policies on loans to other churches and the distribution of income for religious and educational purposes. The overall aim is to provide a factual record and justification for Trinity Church's rights and trusteeship, contextualized within the political and legal framework of 18th- and 19th-century New York.
