"It was completed in 1820. It was to be a Union Church and was built by the Methodists, the Baptists and the Universalists, the latter giving $50, the most in money. Those who could not give money helped in other ways; some gave corn and this was turned into money, others gave lumber and many were glad to give labor. Daniel Westcott and Edward Green did some of the carpenter work. Captain Abner Wood, Colonel Medbury, and Asa Tyler helped to finish the building free of charge."

"Twelve Revolutionary soldiers are buried here: Col. Stephen Winsor, Maj. David Richmond, Maj. Samuel May, Capt. Edward Greene, Capt. Anan Winsor, Capt. Abner Wood, John Secor, Jeremiah Burlingham, Andrew Webb, Caleb Arnold, Ezekial Wheeler and Philemon Shippey. "

"The first settlement made at White Store was that of Avery Powers in 1788"
