Reformed Church

While setting up my google alerts, I happened to run across the "Historical Directory of the Reformed Church in America". http://images.rca.org/docs/archives/hdchurches.pdf

It was from the early days 1628-1992s. It has the town where the church is/was located, the names of the pastors and years they pastored, year of organization and year dropped. There are no lists of members of the church.

What's interesting is it listed the church in Mottville, Constantine and Portage Michigan. On page 106, it talks about the Reformed Church in Mottville, Michigan. It lists the pastor from 1863-1864 as J.W. Beardslee. This is the same pastor that performed the marriage ceremony of Cephas and Arabell Parker (according to his pension records).
