Thanks so much for the information, Richard. I got on their website and noted that they started in Newport. That is where my Carr family lived at that time. Benjamin Bly (who married Joanna Carr) was born in ca. 1736, however, and moved his family to Voluntown, CT and then on to New York. So, I'm not sure that they would have been a part of this particular Baptist Church. I'm going to Arizona late this week to visit with my parents so I'll definitely ask my mother if she has any ideas about her g grandfather's Baptist Connection. I grew up in the GARBC but that is the church that was established in my hometown. Maggie
