 About two miles from
the Mohawk in the south central part of
Clifton Park, the church stood beside an
old Indian trail which meandered norhward
from the ford in the Mohawk at Vischer's
Ferry. Situated on a hilltop, this tract
of land (including the larger part of
Clifton Park) was granted to five men on
17 Sep 1703 by Queen Anne.
On
01 Jan 1793, Richard Peters purchased two
acres of the tract from James Murray and
was one of the founders and organizers of
the Old Clifton Park Church. Established
in 1788 with many of the residents of
Vischer Ferry and Grooms Corner as its
members, it stood adjacent to the
cemetery until February of 1975 when it
was destroyed by fire.
The
cemetery is known as the Grooms Methodist
Chruch Cemetery as well as the McIntosh
Cemetery, is located about one mile north
of the old Peters' homestead and is the
final resting place of many of Richard's
descendants.
