In 1858 the trustees of the church were William Scott of Trafalgar, William Elliott of Nassagaweya, Hiram Anderson, Robert C. Shortreed and William Moore of Esquesing. A brick church was built in 1866 and a manse in 1872. Despite various Presbyterian unions, the United Presbyterian Church carried on until 1921. Anniversary services were held for several years until 1935, but the church fell into disuse and was finally torn down in 1951. In 1958 a cairn was made from the foundation stones of the church.
Some information about this church can be found at the Presbyterian Archives filed under "Boston Church".
