Onoville is one of the nearby towns, actually situated near the northwest end of the resevoir. I do not know of any nearby catholic churches. I see you were looking for late 1800 time frame. In the mid 1900's, the Allegeny river was dammed by the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, flooding the valley. Some towns were evacuated and flooded. Maybe this is where your church went......under water. All of the land surrounding the NY state portion of the resevoir is owned either by NY state or the Seneca nation of Indians now. You should contact Salamanca NY historian, or even the town of Onoville, NY, or Red House NY, or Quaker Run, NY. Hope this helps.
