"The First Baptist church of Tully was formed at Uriel Smith's, February 28, 1816, and a church was built in Tully Center, and dedicated February 11, 1825. In 1848 some members withdrew to form a society in Vesper, on which the church was removed to Tully village and rebuilt. The first pastor was Rev. Squire Abbott, in 1818. The society at Vesper was organized in December, 1848, and a church was dedicated January 18, 1849."
