Hi list, The Baptist churches in W. Stephentown and the one in Petersburg were established in the 1820's. At that time Stephentown was the 10th largest town in the USA.Although my families were there in 1790 I don't know where they called their church home. I'm sure Judy Rowe, the historian of Sand Lake would know. She does not have email, but her mailing address is P. O. Box 273, Sand Lake, NY 12153 and her phone number is (518) 674-8424.
