"The Methodist families in Grafton held religious services at an early day, though the society was not incorporated until April 7, 1828. As early as 1800 the famous Lorenzo Dow had preached to the families of this denomination. The first church was known as the Hemlock church, and was located about a mile east of Quackenkill. Seven years after the incorporation of the society meetings were instituted at Grafton Centre in the old meeting house built by General Van Rensselaer. In 1877 the Hemlock church was torn down and used in the construction of a parsonage at Grafton Centre, in connection with the new church edifice built there in that year."
