This entry represents the installation of a new organ. Identified from the 'History' page of the parish website which states, "The second-hand organ began to falter and Mr. Charles Ripley paid for a replacement to be built in New York and sent up “by the time the river opens” in 1836. This instrument stayed with the church for many years.
The Erben was ultimately replaced by a new Hilborne L. Roosevelt, Opus 46 in 1881. The notes for that organ in the book, 'Hilborne & Frank Roosevelt' by David H. Fox state, "Replaced an 1835 Henry Erben organ that was destroyed by fire." That fire was in 1867, and the church did not fully re-open until September 5, 1874.
