Hi, Cynthia, Could you tell us where to go on the UVM website to discover what Vermont Baptist church records you might have? Thanks, Joann Sylvia J.

William was born in "Chatham, Lower Canada" in 1820.

Joann: I had the pleasure of visiting these records while researching the Baptists of Halifax for our town history. There was a valuable handwritten history sent to the Windham Association by the society clerk, Luther Edwards, in 1841. He described the origins and development of the Baptist Society as told by Benjamin Wilcox who witnessed the first attempt to erect a meetinghouse and the first baptism in town. The Halifax documents are in Carton 2 folder 15 as cited in the Halifax Town History published June 2008. The full collection is catalogued as follows: Database: Special Collections Catalog Author: Vermont Baptist Historical Society Title: Papers of Vermont Baptist Historical Society, 1785-1920 Description: 3 ft. Internet: Finding aid Summary: Collection includes correspondence, church records, documents, and historical papers; biographical sketches of clergymen and church leaders; newspaper clippings; and other papers, in which most local Baptist churches and associations in Vermont are represented. Notes: Collection does not circulate.
