Excerpt from Centennial Sermon: July 2, 1876, Being the Church's Semi-Centennial The first measures looking toward a Second Presbyterian Church in the city of Troy were taken on the first day of February, 1S26. A subscription was then set on foot for the erection of an edifice for that purpose in the Fourth ward. One hundred and eight persons subscribed $1 c, 165, in sums ranging from $1, 000 down to $5, to be paid to Jeremiah Dauchy, William D. Haight, Robert D. Silliman, Stephen Eldridge, Uriah Wallace and Gideon Buckingham, Trustees, and by them used in the purchase of lots and the erection of the building. Of these original trustees, Mr. Win. D. Haight is the sole survivor. He worshipped in this church but a few months since, and now resides in Ohio, in a hale old age. On Wednesday, July 12, 1826, the Trustees of the First Presbyterian Church were received by those of the Second at the house of Gideon Buckingham, on Fourth street, next south of the present site of the Troy City Bank.
