The Dutch Reformed church of Unionville, was first organized in iS^o," under the pastoral charge of the Rev. Thomas Smith, and incorporated on the 8th of August, 1842, by the title of the " Minister, Elders and Deacons of the Reformed Protestant Dutch Church of Unionville." First elders, John Newman, Abraham Onderdonck, and Isaac G. Graham, Jun.; first deacons, Abraham Yerks, Thomas Angevine and Ebenezer Newman.* This church is in connection with the New York Classis.

In the immediate neighborhood of Unionville is the residence and estate of the late Isaac G. Graham, M.D., for some years a member of General Washington's medical staff, and a lineal descendant of the ancient and honorable family of the Grahams of Montrose in Scotland, who derive their origin from the renowned Grame in the fifth century. In this vicinity, also, resided the late Mr. Walter Hunt, an aged soldier of the revolution.

Pleasantville, (formerly Clark's Corners,) lies nearly midway between the Pocanteco and Saw Mill rivers on the north-east border of Mount Pleasant; the village is delightfully situated on the western edge of Bear Ridge. A beautiful vale extends south, while through the gap of the western hills may be seen the distant mountains of Rockland. It contains one church, two stores, a post-office, and several dwellings.

The Methodist Episcopal Church of Pleasantville appears to have been the first of that denomination founded in this section of the country. As early as 1S00 a class meeting was organized on Bear ridge, near the residence of Mr. Jesse Barker. The present building was erected in 1820. Its pastor, in 1847, was the Rev. Charles T. Pelton. A small burying-ground surrounds the church, which contains memorials to the Clarks, Brouwers, Montroses, Searles, Romers, Ackers and others.
