Het Notite Boeck der Christelyckes Kercke op de Manner of Philips Burgh

Het Notite Boeck der Christelyckes kercke op de Manner of Philips Burgh ^[1]is a rare surviving record book of the Old Dutch Church of Sleepy Hollow in Sleepy Hollow, New York.

Abraham de Revier, Sr. evidently kept a private memorandum book that is now lost to history, which was heavily drawn upon in 1715 by Dirck Storm to compose the church's history. The Old Dutch Church of Sleepy Hollow's book of records is one of the most important books in Early American history. "Het Notite Boeck der Christelyckes kercke op de Manner of Philips Burgh" is a rare surviving record of Dutch Colonial American village life in English-occupied New York province.

The book is divided into five "books" or divisions.

• First Division: Dirck Storm’s Brief History of Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow.
• Second Division: Members Registrar, 1697-1775
• Third Division: List of Elders and Deacons, 1697-1776, 1790
• Fourth Division: Baptisms, 1697- c.1778, 1791
• Fifth Division: Marriages, 1697-1790

1. ^ Notitie Boeck would be the proper old Dutch spelling
