Is anyone related to the WALLER and HOWE? Does anyone have any info of them in Wyoming Co? Thanks, Jill The Methodists held camp-meetings at "Bennett’s" or Little Canada, as early as 1810, and Benjamin BARLOW, a local preacher, held services in the town in 1811, as did also Father WALLER and Brother HOWE, who came from Wyoming County. They also built the church now owned by the Free Methodists. This society was organized by Jonathan K. BARLOW, the pioneer physician, and held its meetings in the same building with the Presbyterians, which was afterwards used as an academy. A society was organized in 1820, and one January 7, 1832, but soon became extinct. A Bethany Union Church Society was organized in 1828.
