Peter appears at the Reformed Dutch Church in Prattsville, New York, where the birth and baptism records show that six-year-old Catherine Bird was the first person baptized by Peter on May 30, 1798. In The Minutes of the Board of Proprietors of the Eastern Division of New Jersey from 1725 to 1744, Perth Amboy there is the following: "12 April 1786...On 10 January last, Peter Lebow bought 94 acres at 4-1/2 Dollars." He is mentioned in a Leeds Reformed Church pamphlet: "The third pastor of the Old Catskill Church was Rev. Peter Labagh. He was born in New York city in 1773. In the veins of his ancestors ran 'The pious blood of France and Holland.' He studied with Drs. Freleigh and Livingston, and was licensed by the Classis of Hackensack in 1796. He undertook the tedious journey of nine hundred miles in response to a call for gospel service in Kentucky. After his return he became the pastor of the Churches of Old Catskill and Oak Hill from 1798 to 1809. The Reformed Dutch Church of Oak Hill, New York, was organized in 1786, and was located about a mile from Oak Hill village on the turnpike leading to Preston Hollow. In 1798 the Churches of Old Catskill and Oak Hill were united and called Rev. Peter Labagh, who accepted the call and entered upon his ministerial labors in May, 1798. He continued his pastorate until May 21st, 1809, when he was dismissed to the Reformed (Dutch) Church of Harlington, New Jersey." The following comes from Appleton's Cyclopedia of American Biography of 1889: "clergyman, born in New York city in 1773; died there in 1858. He studied classics under Dr. Peter Wilson, of Hackensack, New Jersey, and theology under Dr. Solomon Froeligh and Dr. John H. Livingston. He was licensed as a preacher in 1796, and after a missionary tour in western New York went to Kentucky, where he organized the church of Salt River, in Mercer county. On returning to New York, he was pastor in Greenbush, Rensselaer county, till 1809, and afterward of the united churches of Shannock and Harlingen till 1844. He was elected a trustee of Queens (now Rutgers) college in 1811, and had the degree of D.D. conferred on him by that institution in the same year. He contributed largely to securing the endowment of the theological seminary at New Brunswick, was active in the councils of his church, and a powerful preacher. A memoir of him was published by the Reverend John A. Todd, D.D. (1860). His son, Isaac P., clergyman, born in Leeds, Greene County, New York, 14 August, 1804; died in Fairfield, Iowa, 29 December, 1879, studied at Dickinson college, and at the New Brunswick theological seminary, where he was graduated in 1826, and licensed to preach. He was successively pastor of Dutch Reformed churches at Rochester and Gravesend, New York, till 1842, was subsequently suspended for his opinions concerning the second advent and the Christian Sabbath, and in 1846 entered the ministry of the Protestant Episcopal church. He was for some years missionary to the Jews in New York city, and organized and built St. Paul's church, Haddonfield, New Jersey, and also St. Paul's church, South Brooklyn. In 1860 he removed to Illinois, and established a female seminary, Euphemia Hall, and after its destruction by fire in 1863 he Organized and built St. Peter's church at Cairo. He next removed to Fairfield, Iowa, and was pastor of St. Peter's church there till his death. He published "A Sermon on the Personal Reign of Christ" (1846); "Twelve Lectures on Great Events of Unfulfilled Prophecy" (1859); and "Theoklesia, or the Organization, Perpetuity, Conflicts, and Triumphs of the One Holy, Catholic Apostolic Church" (1868)."
