Plattsburgh Press Republican-January 8, 2013, Volume 13, Issue 25 starting on page 6.
Halsey came to Plattsburgh from Long Island in August 1795 in response to an invitation from Judge Thomas Tredwell asking him to organize a school in the fledgling community.
He had two goals upon his arrival. The first, to create the first Presbyterian church in Clinton County, had humble beginnings, as the faithful met in a blockhouse on Cumberland Avenue. On Oct. 1, 1797, the First Presbyterian Church of Plattsburgh was formally organized Oct 1, 1797.
His second aim was to establish the school, which opened near his home in 1798. Halsey went on to serve as a chaplain to the 8th Regiment of Militia organized by Col. Thomas Miller, a neighbor, during the War of 1812.
His stone house still stands on Tom Miller Road, 300 feet west of "Halsey's Corner," site of a bloody skirmish with the advancing British army on Sept. 6, 1814.
Daughter of Judge Charles Platt and Caroline Adriance.
