The Newport Historical Society has records of both the First and the Second Baptist churches of Newport dating from the mid-1600s well into the 1800s . ----- Original Message ----- From: "Judith McNiel" Sent: Friday, May 05, 2006 11:29 AM Subject: [RIGENWEB] Church records for Newport in 1700's???? > Hello friends and cousins, I am still back-tracking on my Exeter bunch of BRAMANs. The trail led "forward" to Smithfield, but now I am tracing BACKWARD to Newport. Am interested in Bramans there, especially names that may be patterned from Newport Bramans ( David, Abby, Elizabeth)--------here is my question: > > I have hardly been to Newport for research. WHERE IS a good place to look at old CHURCH RECORDS from say, 1700's time period? Am I too hopeful to think I can find any people by using church records that old??? > > Also, does anyone have a book "1782 R.I. Census"- reconstructed census? If so, were there any BRAMAN OR BRAYMAN in Newport? > > I previously did not look for Bramans in Newport, as I was only looking at Exeter and SK. > > Thanks if anyone can help!
