Hello Fellow Researchers, I wonder if anyone out there knows the names or locations of Methodist Churches in Columbia and Rensselaer Counties, specifically those which date back to 1770 (for Columbia) 1800-1805 (for Rensselaer). I suspect that my ancestor, Robert Washburn may well have been a Methodist Minister. I do not know for certain that he was, but in an article I read, "Whose name in October 1760, appeared among certain inhabitants of the Town of Plainfield, in Windham County, CT, desiring to form a new religious society." I know that between 1773-1776 he had left Plainfield, CT and moved to Columbia County, NY. I also know that between 1786-1831 he was living in Saratoga County. I would appreciate any suggestions or information that might help me in finding records for this person. Thank you.
