The names in this database were extracted from the book, TROY’S ONE HUNDRED YEARS, 1789-1889, by Arthur James Weise, M. A. Published in 1891 by William H. Young, 7 AND 9 First Street, Troy N. Y.

During the period 1793 to 1890 there were 52 different churches and synagogues located in Troy. The leaders of these churches & synagogues (Pastor, Preacher, Rabbi, Rector and Minister) along with their time period of service, is shown for each religious establishment.

Family researchers will be able to search this database of 528 names to identify the religious establishment connected with their relative and the time period. In some cases genealogists may have copies of marriage records showing the name of the officiating clergyman but not the name of the church. This data base may be of help in identifying that church.
