	+ + The organization of St. Luke's Parish was effected by the Rev. Henry U. Onderdonk," Rector of St. John's Church, Canandaigua, and Missionary in parts adjacent," on the 14th day of July, 1817, under the corporate name of "St. Luke's Church, Genesee Falls." + + The original corporators, as indicated by their signatures to the "Declaration of Attachment to the Protestant Episcopal Church," were: + S. Melancton Smith, + Moses P. Belknap, + Wm. Y. Green, + Jesse Moore, + A. G. Dauby, + John P. Comparet, + Anson House, + Daniel Hibbard, + Jacob Howe, + Elisha Johnson, + Jonah Brown, + Caleb Hammond, + Jabez Wilkinson, + Joseph Thompson, + Wm. Atkinson, + Sam'l J. Andrews, + John C. Rochester, + John Mastick, + Silas Smith, + Roswell Babbit, + Enos Stone, + Oliver Culver, + John P. Sheldon, + Daniel Tinker, + Lewis Jenkins, + H. Montgomery, + Joseph Spencer, and + Joseph Griffin. + + On March 13, 1817, Rev. Mr. Onderdonk "held the first public services of our Church at Rochesterville." The above-named persons met in a schoolhouse, belonging to Samuel James Andrews, on the east side of the river, in what was known as the town of Brighton, in the county of Ontario (at the time). + + An offer of the original proprietors of "the 100-acre tract," Misters Rochester, Fitzhugh & Carroll, "to convey lot No. 85 to the first religious society that should take possession of the same and build a church thereon." The construction of a wooden building, 38 X 46 feet, to contain about forty pews, in the Village of Rochesterville was decided upon, and a contract entered into, Aug. 5, 1820 with Elias Beach and Phelps Smith, to build the same, at a cost of $1260, and $200 additional for a bell tower — the building committee consisting of Col. N. Rochester, John Mastick, Harvey Montgomery and George G. Sill. + + The little wooden church was first occupied on Christmas Day in 1823 and was consecrated by Bishop Hobart on the 20th of February 1824 ensuing, at which time also the Rite of Confirmation was administered to the following persons: + John Mastick, + Jared N. Stebbins, + Elbert Scrantom, + N. T. Rochester, + Ann Cornelia Rochester, + Dorothy Stebbins, + Frances Tiffany and + Sarah Mason. + On the following day, the Rev. Mr. Cuming was advanced to the Priesthood. + + The infant parish thus obliged to be dependent on its own resources, determined to "arise and build." In September, 1823, the Vestry resolved to enter into a contract with H. T. McGeorge to build a stone church 53 x 73 with a tower 16x6 at the contract price of $9,000, and William Pitkin, Caleb L. Clark, S. M. Smith, T. H. Rochester and Silas Smith with the minister exofficio, were appointed the building committee. + + The old wood frame church was removed to the rear of the lot and was subsequently used for Sunday School purposes until 1832, when the building was sold, removed to Buffalo St., converted to secular uses and finally demolished in April, 1875. The corner stone of the new stone structure was laid May 11, 1824, and the edifice was first opened for public worship Sept. 4, 1825. The number of pews on the ground floor was sixty-six, and in the gallery twenty-six. The church was consecrated by Bishop Hobart, Sept. 30, 1826.
