Date of construction

Its not completely clear to me when this church was constructed. Some sources say 1812, others 1817 or 1818. The 1845 (Prine) and 1874 (Bayles) sources I added cites for say 1812. There are Newsday articles which I can't access in full text that say 1818, apparently. The church congregation was founded in 1815 (per multiple sources I can find), but apparently the building was originally constructed to be a town meeting house, so that doesn't answer the question. Anyone is encouraged to dig deeper into this, there must be more out there? Right now I made article say 1812 or 1818.--Neighborhoodpalmreader (talk) 16:35, 4 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Additional sources

Long Island Forum, Feb 1965, p. 44[1] - letter from Ms. Eleanor (Furman) Davis says, "The Devil take the Hindmost article in the October issue lists a Congregational Church in Centereach and gives the founding date as 1817. The church is the New Village Congregational Church and was founded in 1815 but built in 1818. The community in which it was built was Lake Grove. The reason for my interest in this particular church is that my grandfather, the Rev. Charles Elmer Furman, preached there. He stayed with that church approximately 26 years."--Neighborhoodpalmreader (talk) 18:17, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to update the information in the article with your new references. Swampyank (talk) 18:20, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Patchogue Advance, Oct. 27, 1949, "Centereach's Historic Church" by Thomas R. Bayles.[2]. This article says church was built in 1818 and is more in depth than the other sources I have found, so I am editing article to say "likely" 1818 for now. Bayles doesn't mention the earlier sources which cite the 1812 date, including his father's own 1874 book.--Neighborhoodpalmreader (talk) 19:55, 9 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
