The Hilltop Church website explains its Revolutionary War history:
"In October of 1776, when the British were in possession of New York and Long Island, the Presbytery of New York met in Hilltop sanctuary.  In the winter of 1777, with Washington's Revolutionary Army encamped at Jockey Hollow, the church was pressed into service as a smallpox hospital.  Twenty-seven soldiers died here, and are buried in a common grave in the cemetery behind the church." The original church, built in 1745 was in use until 1817.  The current church structure was built in 1860. [1]
