Does anyone know about the membership list mentioned below? Is there a history published of these forty new members (besides the present one below) or an online source? Church Minutes book somewhere? Mike Miller From: http://www.geocities.com/baptist_documents/1871hist_spbc.html referring to Rev. Benjamin Miller of the Scotch Plains Baptist Church: "The character of the licentiate manifested itself in the work of the pastor. The new interest at Scotch Plains rapidly expanded. The list of members contains the names of forty persons under the same date with the constituent membership. Some of these may have united, by letters, from other places; but the most were undoubtedly baptized by the young pastor. Under date of June 11, 1748, four more names are recorded; October, 1748, sixty others. When the Philadelphia Association published its first statistical table, in 1761, Scotch Plains reported a total membership of one hundred and thirty-four; more than three times the numerical strength of the parent body at the same period.
