Notes - Mr Schuyler an an Old-Line Whig, and later as a Republican, manifested much interest in the local issues of the day. He served as justice of the peace, filled the office of chosen freeholder of his township and held various minor positions. He found, however, little pleasure in the exciting scenes of a political career, and seldom abandoned, even temporarily, the congenial labor of the husbandman for the busy arena of politics. He was in his religious belief a firm Episcopalian, and both vestryman and warden in that church, to which he was zealously attached.
The death of Mr. Schuyler occurred on the 19th of May 1878, shortly after the interesting occasion of the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of his marriage to Mrs. Schuyler who survives him.
