235 Years in the Hoosic Valley of upstate N.Y....featuring descendants of Frank and Myrtle Church of Petersburgh, NY


In 1780 John and Hannah Church and their four children made the arduous
overland trek from Stonington, Connecticut to a new home in the Van Rensselaer
manorial lands nestled in the Taconic Mountains of eastern New York State. Now 235
years later, their descendants still call the region around the Little Hoosic Valley village of
Petersburgh "home."
