Hey, Alan Wildblood, here's an interesting clip wherein the Methodists in the Trenton of 1870 requested and received authorization to use the First Baptist Church baptist font for some of their parishioners.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Tom, for saving this and other articles on the First Baptist Church of Trenton for us, who plan to write a history of the Centre and Bridge congregation. We did not manage to complete one for the bicentennial in 2005 but maybe for the 205th. Too bad the immersed Methodists were not named. If any reader knows who they were, please let me know. They will be "buried in Christ" and go down in Baptist history and prove there is a Methodist to my madness. I believe the Daily True American is wrong about the evening immersions. First Baptist rolls show no baptisms that night, but two that match one week earlier, on July 10, 1870, namely Anna Woodward and Robert Prior. Anna remained a member until 1892, Robert until 1890. He was erased and she joined another church, not M.E.
