I went online on Family Search. The Reformed church records appear
to be under the Stanley Reynolds collection. Search on "Place,"
"Seneca" "New York" and click on "Church Records" and then the
collection. (Searching on "Tyre" "Seneca" or "Junius" "Seneca" also
gives you a few items.)

I will have a look at those and other early records when I am in Salt
Lake City in a few weeks. I'll let you all know what sort of thing I
find.
