"James SCOVILLE, Joseph BARTHOLOMEW, ROSWELL and Asael BARNES, were among the first settlers at Oran before 1798. Mr. BARTHOLOMEW built the first log house, a part of which was formed by a large hemlock tree. He also erected the first frame house in 1799, and in it kept the first tavern. A school was soon established in a log school house, and missionaries from Connecticut ministered to their spiritual wants. The first was the Rev. Mr. PERRY, who preached in James SCOVILLE'S barn, and in other barns in the neighborhood. Mr. WALLACE, Mr. STODDARD and Mr. RAWSON, all Congregationalists, preached here

Rev. Hugh WALLACE organized the society in Oran, 27th January, 1806. The society was reorganized under the title Of the "Second Congregational Society of the town of Pompey”, 6th October, 1806, when Punderson AVERY, Jedediah CLEVELAND and Joseph BARTHOLOMEW, were elected Trustees, Lemuel HALL and Jedediah CLEVELAND, presiding at the meeting.

The first frame house of worship in the town of Pompey, was erected by this society in 1807 and ‘8, being the third house of worship erected in the county. "

The inhabitants in the vicinity of Oran were favored at a very early day with religious services by missionaries from Connecticut, the first of whom was a Rev. Mr. Perry, who preached in James Scoville's barn, and in other barns in that neighborhood. On January 27, 1806, Rev. Hugh Wallace organized a society there, which was reorganized later in the same year under the title, the Second Congregational church of the town of Pompey. Punderson Avery, Jedediah Cleveland, and Joseph Bartholomew were elected the first trustees. There the first frame house of worship in the town and the third one of any kind in the county, was built in 1807-8. In later years the Universalists, who had become quite numerous in that section, occasionally occupied the church and formed a large part of the congregation.
