Barilla is a Deacon of Beecher Hollow Church Meeting House until 1850. Originally the Beecher Hollow Church membership was part of a Presbyterian Church erected at Fish House.

Church government changed 31 March 1831 from Presbyterian to Congregational Society. Gilbert moved to Northville in 1850.1135

people from the Presbyterian Churches of Fish House and Amsterdam, along with the Congregational Church of Edinburg presented letters of dismission and recommendation from those churches.” Barzilla and his son George Gilbert were two of the thirteen listed.
