Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Review of a Report, Presented to the Warren Baptist Association, at Its Meeting in 1849: On the Subject of the True Date of the First Baptist Church in Newport, R. I
The First Baptist Church in Newport united with the Associa tion in the year 1836. At that time the date of the constitution of the church was inserted in the Minutes of the Association, 1644.
In the year 1847, the Associational letter from that church claim ed that the church was constituted in the year 1638, and that it was the oldest Baptist Church in America. In the printed Minutes of that year, the records of the Association were altered by the clerk, without the direction of the Association, so as to correspond with the claim set up by the church in Newport.
