Any idea what KIND of Baptist Churches you are looking for? Primitive; Southern; Missionary; Freewill; General? The County Historian put out a nice book a few years ago with thumbnail histories of the oldest 100 churches in the County, which would give you an overview. Many of the Baptist churches probably trace back to the Primitive Baptists at Half Pone (now defunct; in present Cheatham Co; then Montgomery) and it's sister, Red River, organized 1791 or 2 at Port Royal, on the Robertson Co line; later moved to present Adams, in Robertson County, where it is going strong as a Southern Baptist church, I think).

Hi Cleo, I'm not sure which branch of the Baptist Churches he belonged to. All I know is that a James HAYNES is mentioned as being an early Baptist Preacher in Stewart co. Thanks.
