The same information as the previous comment was the extent of the
listings online.
http://www.home.eznet.net/~dminor/NYNY1805.html - Dec 6, 1809
Architect Ephraim Russ begins practicing in the Rensselaerville area.
He builds the Stevens home.
http://www.home.eznet.net/~dminor/NYNY1815.html - Dec 3, 1815 Ephraim
Russ's Episcopal Church in Rensselaerville is built.
I called the The New York State Historical Association, Cooperstown,
New York
Toll-free: 1.888.547.1450
They had no information on Russ, the Steven's home or the church, but
they did have two places that might have information.

Albany Institute of History & Art

and
Rensselaer County Historical Society
http://www.rchsonline.org/
That site provides HISTORIANS OF RENSSELAER COUNTY
http://www.rchsonline.org/history.htm
Contacting these local historians would probably be fruitful...
Good luck, it's a tough one!
