  In 1802 he had made a flagon for the South Congregational Church in Andover, Massachusetts. In 1805, when his absence from the Boston Directory is conspicuous, he made flagons and plates for the First Religious Society in Newburyport, Massachusetts. Churchill and Treadwell made silver dated in 1813, "Presented by the Citizens of Boston ... to Com. O. H. Perry . . ."; Daniel Treadwell, younger brother of Isaac Dodge Treadwell of Newburyport, is recorded to have served as Churchill's apprentice and very briefly as his partner. In the Boston Directory of 1811, Churchill's shop was at the 1809 address but his house was in Newbury Place. The church in Bedford has a flagon dated 1817 and two beakers dated 1818, the year before he is thought to have died.
