In those days, in rural communities, there weren't always local churches or ministers. Parents would have to wait for the visiting minister to perform marriages and baptisms. Sometimes several children would be baptised at the same time. Or, the family might have moved, and had the children baptised at a new location where there was a minister available. Where was Rev Case in 1862??
