    1. Re: [NYCLINTO-L] Morrisonville churches
    2. Those of us who live in the West where there aren't overlapping towns and villages sometimes have a hard time separating places like Plattsbrugh, Schuyler Falls and Morrisonville--where places were carved out of other places. Hurd's HISTORY OF CLINTON AND FRANKLIN COUNTIES, published 1880 says "the Methodist Episcopal Church, Morrisonville, was established in 1835 in what is now called the town of Schuyler Falls, then West Plattsburgh, on Beckwith Street about midway between the villages of Schuyler Falls and Morrisonville. It was named the Second Methoidst Episcopal Church of the town of Plattsburgh." In 1846 yet another M-E church was established in Schuyler Falls By 1853, the population of the area had grown so much that the old (1835) church was divided. Those living south united with the Schuyler Falls group and those north established a church at Morrisonville at the north end. Hurd has lists of members and clergy of l the above--if someone is looking for specific names--and doesn't have a copy of Hurd, let me know. I'll keep the book on my desk for a few days. In 1874, R. H., Emery of Morrisonville donated land for a Catholic Church, where St. Alexander's was established. (No list of members.)
