Book excerpt: In 1760 a union agreement was reached between Lutheran and Reformed congregations of the newly built "German Church". They shared the same churchbook until 1784 when the Lutherans started their own book; the Reformed congregation kept the original book. A new church was built in 1798 and in 1800 the congregations incorporated as Zion Church. The town of Manchester grew up around the church. The union agreement ended in 1863-1864 with both congregations dedicating new churches: Immanuel Lutheran and Trinity Reformed. .
