( visit link) "However, the first trickle of Catholics would come into the area in the 1840s. These were displaced Irish escaping political persecution and the Great Hunger that swept over Ireland...The parcel of land in which St. Patrick's Church of Truxton is located was conveyed by deed dated May 19, 1854, from John Miller of Truxton to the Right Rev. John McClosky, Roman Catholic Bishop of Albany. John McDevitt and Patrick McDonald purchased the land for the sum of $200. The church was a wooden structure with small dimensions. Little is known about this church except that it burned in 1878. The present St. Patrick's Church was built in 1880, which makes it the oldest Catholic Church in Cortland County. "
