List, I am trying to find the location and basic information about a Churchtown, Columbia County, New York. It is listed as the location for the christening 22 April 1810 of a "Johny HAMM", son of Petrus HAMM and Catharina KOEN, who may be my 3rd great-grandfather, John P. Ham. This information comes from FamilySearch. There are two records for the christening, one listing the location as Churchtown, the other listing the location as the St. Thomas Lutheran Church. Any help or information would be appreciated. Thank you very much. Andrew Jelen ajelen@wfpl.net
