-'''Past:'''
+Since there are no records of telling us when the earliest settlers arrived at the Beaver Dam, we have to look to the early church baptism and marriage records and decide how to interpret them.
-'''Present:'''
+In addition to their scant belongings, settlers brought with them their religious faiths; in the case of the Palatine settlers at the Beaver Dam, this was either Lutheran or Reformed. To attend religious services, the earliest Beaver Dam settlers traveled to Schoharie where there was both a Lutheran and a Dutch Reformed Church, or below the hill to Schenectady or Albany. It is reported that the worshipers went “twenty in a line” to Schoharie, on horseback or foot, along the ten-mile trail that followed an Indian footpath along the banks of the Foxenkill.

-*[[Knox Reformed Church]]
+Since most baptisms and marriages of the Beaver Dam settlers were recorded in St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Schoharie, or the Dutch Reformed Church in Schoharie, many researchers of these families assume that the participants actually lived there. In fact, many of the families seldom went to church even though their vital records are recorded there. Since communicants in the Schoharie churches lived quite distant in a wide circle around Schoharie, including Beaver Dam, they would frequently have had their religious sacraments performed by itinerant or circuit preachers who would later record them in Schoharie, or elsewhere.
