Eleanor Dorsey made herself acquainted with the peculiarities of Methodism. While she lived in Maryland she formed an acquaintence with several of the first Methodist ministers. Among others was Bishop Asbury, who was a warm friend to the family, and made their house his home for some time. Their house was a home for the preachers from the time they became members of the Church; and when a preacher called on them he was hailed with a smile, and favored with a warm reception. The Genesee Annual Conference has held its sessions no less than three times at their house, and they have been known to entertain thirty preachers during its session. The first Genesee Conference held in Western New York was at their house in the year 1810.
