"After the retirement of Judge Duane, one of his first thoughts was for a church, “Cemetary Lot or Square”, having failed to become the head of Duanesburg village, he dedicated it to the uses of the church, and in its center he built the present house of worship. At a meeting of the rector and inhabitants of the town of Duanesburg on Tuesday, September 22, 1793, Judge James Duane, conveyed the church and the ground on which it is erected for the public worship of Almighty God according to the rites and sacraments of the Protestant Episcopal Church. The church was admitted to the Diocese of New York in 1789. The parish had a difficult existence for some years previous to 1795. In 1811 a tower and spire was added to the building and a few changes were made in the interior. The building has been kept in excellent repairs, and is the oldest church edifice in the Diocese of Albany which has preserved its primitive architectural design. The church has been adequately endowed by Judge Duane and succeeding family members and some assistance from Trinity Church of New York during its early beginning."
