Unfortunately, your deaths probably pre-date the Vindicator. Maybe somebody will know if there are any records from this church somewhere.>> The Dunkard Church is actually a slang term for the Brethren Church also known as the German Baptist Church back then evidently. The Vindicator is one of their publications. The Primitive Baptist Church is NOT the same church. I have ancestors that attended both churches in Franklin Co., Va. I have seen no records of my Steagall ancestors in any church, but they were Brethren. You might want to check the Brethren list archives at rootsweb.
