This church according to the RCGS website formed in the 1860s and took the name "House of Prayer" in 1884. It looks to be situated on Jones Point in Stony Point. No address is given. I presume, this is because the church is long defunct. Are there any known records held by a library or private individual? Apparently Amanda Youmans (George J Youmans & Hannah Hogencamp) was baptized there in 1867, I'd really love to get a peek at that baptism. Thanks, Brian

Both Rockland and Orange Counties are within the Dioces of New York. To quote the web site of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States the Diocese of New York is as follows: "The Episcopal Diocese of New York is made up of over 200 congregations encompassing Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island in New York City, and the counties of Dutchess, Orange, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster and Westchester." I have had some contact with the Archivist in the Diocese and I found him to be very informative and very helpful, despite the fact that I my research project involved the Diocese of Pennsylvania. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian J Densmore" <brian@amason.net> To: <nyrockla@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 05, 2013 8:34 PM Subject: [NYROCKLA] The Protestant Episcopal Church at Stony Point - GraceChurch > This church according to the RCGS website formed in the 1860s and took the > name "House of Prayer" in 1884.
