Hello Everyone, And let me thank those who have helped me in the past. I need to know the address of the Free Will Baptist Church in Eagle Wyoming. Alivn Clark married Louisa Rugg there and attended the First Baptist church in Dale until they came to LeRoy, where they united with the First Baptist Church. If anyone has addresses for any of these churches it would be a great help.They were married Dec. 20, 1838. I am hoping to see if they churches have more family info. My Clark line has been in Hume, Warsaw, Atticaand LeRoy. Lyman Clark 50 acres of land to Daniel Clark from LeRoy. Lyman Clark purchased 100 acres from Reuben Clark and his wife Catherine Mariah. Reuben was from CT. I am thinking they really didn't move much, but that the county line and township lines did. Thanks so much for your time and help. Cathy Obeshaw

The American Baptist Historical Society in Rochester has some earlier records for the Leroy church but not for the Eagle one. Their site has the following statement: "Genealogists should know that Baptists historically have practiced believer's baptism rather than infant baptism. That is, a person is baptized when he or she professes faith rather than, as in most denominations, soon after birth. Finding record of an ancestor's baptism in a Baptist church, therefore, does not serve to document the birth date or approximate age of the person in question. Further, Baptist records normally record only the person's name and date of baptism. Baptist church records do not record (as other church records often do) date or place of birth, age, names of parents, siblings, or children. "Baptist churches have traditionally not kept marriage records as part of their church records. Some ministers have kept a private log of marriages performed, but this library holds only a handful of such marriage logs. These are not indexed and can only be accessed through the name of the minister, not the names of those married by that minister."
