Do you know of Union Society ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Union Society. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Union Society.<1>

Our sources for Union Society (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Union Society other than they indicate that Union Society would be found somewhere in Greene County, New York.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1825 and closed  in 1912.
