D. Goslee in 1843 and the church opened in 1846; Bishop Strachan attended the ceremony. Goslee's daughter, Elizabeth Goslee Grover, told the story of her family in memoirs that were written in 1896, her eighty-first years. Elizabeth's grandmother, born Ann Schuyler, was a neice of Philip Schuyler, one of George Washington's most respected generals; Ann's father was himself a member of Washington's army and Washington was her godfather and a frequent visitor in the Schuyler house. Matthew Goslee, Elizabeth's grandfather, was the son of a wealthy American family who supported the King's cause and forfeited all his property in the new United States. They often told her, when she was a child, of their first meeting. On 27 August 1776, Ann was alone in the family home near Albany listening to the distant sounds of battle. Her mother was dead; and by the end of the days she learned her father and brother had both been killed as well. There was a chance the British troops would burn the house. With her father's servant as companion, she rode off to seek her uncle. But the army tents they finally found were the enemy's. 'I was in the Jersey woods.' Ann would tell the young Elizabeth, 'and before me stood a tall handsome soldier in a red coat, one sleeve gone but the arm wrapped in a bloody bandage..' The tall handsome redcoat was of course Matthew Goslee. He escorted Ann to a spot near her uncle's camp, and Ann stayed with General Schuyler in Albany until the end of the war. One night the general returned home escorting Matthew Goslee as his personal prisoner. In time Ann and Matthew were married and left with the Loyalists. In the Colborne area they built a large log house. They always kept the saddle which Ann had used on the day they met." per "Homesteads: Early buidlings and families from Kingston to Toronto" by Margaret McBurney & Mayr Byers, 1979, pg. 150 & 151
