Added notes;
>From The Centennial History Of Chautauqua County, Page 13
The Baptist Church of Fredonia was the result of a covenant meeting held for two or three years under the leadership of Judge Zattu Cushing. It was organized by a council held at Mr. Cushing's barn. He himself was made a deacon and afterwards a preacher. The intelligence, the zeal, and the moral courage of this man can never be forgotten. The same courage and daring reappeared on the field of patriotism in the person of his grandson, Commander -Gushing, at the Merrimac and Albemarle. The first pastor of this church was that good man of whom I have elsewhere spoken, Rev. Joy Handy.
