Marge, Thank you for that information; however, the churches I'm asking about were Reguar Baptist or Primitive Baptist, so they were not the same churches as those by the same name in your quotation. There was a Bethel Association of Primitive Baptists, and another of Missionary Baptists, if I'm not mistaken. I haven't known much about either one, and am just starting to learn a little bit lately. I have these two minutes 1884 and 1885 of the Bethel Primitive. Robert
