Ed, St. Peter's Church in Albany moved a short distance to its present site around 1802, but it existed long before that. St. George's in Schenectady was founded in 1735. I'm pretty sure they are the oldest Episcopal churches in the area. I can't tell you of any other's that might have formed by 1840. Another major Episcopal church in Albany today is the Cathedral of All Saints, but it opened for worship in 1888. http://www.stpeterschurchalbany.org/parish_history.htm http://www.stgeorgesschenectady.org/ Cliff ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ hagerdonngenealogy@earthlink.net wrote: >Would anyone know which Episcopalian Churches were in the Greater Albany >area in the 1830s or 1840s? > >Ed Hagerty >====NY-Albany Mailing List==== >Check out the mailing list's website at:http://www.connorsgenealogy.com/Albany/ >Add/check your Albany surnames on the Surname Registry. >------------------------------- >To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to NYALBANY-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message > > >

Ed and Cliff, There is also St. Paul's which was founded in 1827 and located first in the Pastures neighborhood, moved to Lancaster Street in 1863 and then to Hackett Blvd. Judy ________________________________ From: Cliff Lamere <clifflamere@nycap.rr.com> To: nyalbany@rootsweb.com Sent: Saturday, March 14, 2009 8:35:29 PM Subject: Re: [NYALBANY] Episcopalian Churches Ed, St. Peter's Church in Albany moved a short distance to its present site around 1802, but it existed long before that.
