They also had a son Samuel Thomas PAGE, my gg grandfather.) NOTES: First Baptist Church of Woodruff, SC earliest extant minutes, Sept 16, 1787 "members received by letter, Robert PAGE, ordained Elder, and also lists Rachel PAGE received by letter. They were moving their church membership from a church most likely from the place of their last residence where there was a Baptist church in existence. Although Elder was used for ordained ministers, some historians list him as a deacon of the church. After much study, I am convinced although there are large number of Baptist PAGE ministers, he was not one, but may well have been a deacon. First Baptist Church of Woodruff, SC was previously called "Bethel Baptist" after 1798. After the Rev. War the church had gone down & was reorganized as the Baptist Church of Christ on Jamey's Creek. It maintained this name until 1798 when it was changed to "Bethel". Originally, it was known as an arm of FairForest at "Enoree". (Morgan Edward's "Materials for a History of the Baptist" refers to it as Enoree. It was organized by Fairforest in 1771 and William WOOD was ordained to pastor it in 1772. FairForest was organized from the line of "Separate Baptist" that joined with the "Regular Baptist" to form the "United Baptist" in Virginia in 1787 & in Southern Kentucky & Upper Cumberland of Tennessee in 1800. Some of both groups did not unite with the alliance. Notes: At this time Baptists, & some still do, used the appellation of "Elder" for the ordained minister. This would lead us to believe that Robert was an ordained minister but John Asplund in his "Universal Register for 1790,91,92, & 93 does not list a Robert PAGE as a minister with this church. In 1798 he and another member were designated to draw up a church constitution. Also that year, he is listed as a messenger under "other messengers to the association" in Townsend's "South Carolina Baptists". There is a separate column for ministers. %% Information on living people
