Hi y'all, Janet asked about church records and while we don't have nearly enough of them online, there are several pages on the Marlboro County web site on the history of the Welsh Neck Baptist Church, established 1737 by Welsh immigrants from Pencader, Delaware, as well as a few others. The pages on Welsh Neck Baptist include some very nice work done a few years ago by fellow Marlboro researcher, Glenn Pearson. Glenn abstracted data from the early Minutes of Welsh Neck Baptist, where Rev. Brown was apparently pastor for a brief period, and these old church Minutes make for interesting and lively reading. Church members were called on the carpet for all kinds of things -- excessive drinking, abusive language, beating up the neighbor, a female selling liquor at a horse race, wives queried on why they aren't living with their husbands. The Minutes note that some folks repented, some didn't. You can almost hear one fellow telling the Church to buzz off when he was repeatedly asked to repent. For better or for worse, these notes add flavor and dimension to many of our family histories, and I'm very grateful to Glenn for sharing his research with us.
