It is presently unknown the tenure of this assembly, although it has been noted by a brother (Reg Badgley) at the [[Deseronto Gospel Hall, ON]] that was started when the Wager family was saved thru itinerants in 1898, that there have been a great number of native children who have been involved in the Sunday School, as well as a couple native families who were in fellowship there in the 1940's."
Allen Madigan from the present [[Deseronto Gospel Hall, ON]] which started after 1898 when a Wager family made profession of faith indicated that there are ongoing efforts to witness to the Mohawk population, and Reg Badgley said that there were a couple Mohawk families in fellowship at that assembly in the 1940's, as well as many native children over the years in the Sunday Schools. There is no known historical connection between the two assemblies, except that they were both OB (Open Brethren).
There was also an exclusive brethren (EB) meeting room at Mill Point that met from prior to 1878, with a contact as early as 1880 of Isaac Powlass (or Powlis), then the meeting relocated in 1881 to Deseronto and continued thru at least 1896, with the same contact. See [[Deseronto Meeting Room, ON]] for more information.
