*STOCKER'S HISTORY (1887)

A Baptist church was organized in 1816 by Davis Dimock, but in 1845 the congregation moved two miles north of Little Meadows to the New York Baptist church.

The Methodist Episcopal meetings were held as early as 1809. About 1819 the first class was formed and on the 16th of July 1844, the church became a corporate body and the following year a plain meetinghouse was built and improved in 1865 and 1884.

The First Presbyterian Church of Little Meadows incorporated September 2, 1878. The church was dedicated June 1878.

The Roman Catholic Church of Little Meadows was securing funds in 1886 to build a church.

A Presbyterian layman conducted early services but no further information was found.
