An excellent article 'Dunker Beginnings in North Carolina in the Eighteenth Century' by Roger E. Sappington appeared in "The North Carolina Historical Review", Summer Issue 1969, pp. 214-238. This Journal can be found at NC State Archives, Raleigh, NC. The minister may have been Jacob Stutzman, referred to in the marriage record. There were five probable settlements of Dunkers. "Evidently this sect kept relatively few records and not all of those have been preserved. Consequently, for the colonies of Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina, almost nothing recorded by the Dunkers themselves has survived for the use of the historian. Any account of the Dunkers in North Carolina, therefore, will rely entirely on what other people knew and observed about them. This factor explains trhe inability of the historian to present anything like a connected narrative account of these people." Jacob Stutzman, purchased land in both Rowan & Randolph counties, NC. This article identifies the congregations as: (1) The Ewarry [probably Uwharrie] congregation, Jacob Stutzman, minister. (2) The Yadkin congregation led by the Kerns and Hendricks family. (3) The Dutchman's Creek settlement lead by the Hendrickses and the Rowlands. (4) The Fraternity congregation of which Burkhart and Faw were leaders and (5) the Ashe County (Flat Rock) congregation, led by Rowland, Bauer and Miller. "The Dunkers in NC...did not build any meetinghouses, as they preferred to call their churches. The exant records reveal that the earliest Dunker meetinghouse in NC was constructed in 1852 in the mountains of what is today Mitchell County." Another excellent source for Dunkard history in NC in the past has been John Scott Davenport, who resided in Utah and/or New Mexico. He prepared an article for the "Brethen Life and Thought" a quarterly Journal Volume XXII, Winter 1977. Hope this helps. BL Brown
