I have found some information online stating that Milo Weston 1) built the chimney for this church when it opened about 1877 and 2) "The Seventh Day Adventists of Pierrepont organized a church June 28, 1874, with Milo Western, Orange Chollar and Arden Eels as trustees." seen at http://history.rays-place.com/ny/pierrepont-ny.htm. I believe 'Western' is a misspelling as Milo Weston's son Orvin Weston married Orange Coller's daughter Rhoda Coller, and also Milo Weston had a second wife, Ann Elizabeth Barlow Eells, mother to an Arden Eells. Milo died 5 Mar 1892 according to his obit, and Sarah Wheelock Weston on 20 Apr 1883 according to her obit. The NY vital records have been checked and no death record has been found for either. Their son Orvin Weston is buried in Beech Plains as well as various Eells and Coller family members and I am willing to bet they are as well. I have found this website for the Beech Plains Church : http://www.beechplainsfreechurch.org/ however there is no contact info listed. I can not find the church in any phone directory either. Does anyone know who I may contact about church and cemetery records ? I also have some possible leads as to other family members (brothers, parents) so I would be interested in any other Westons there as well.
