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."
