RECORD
of the
BAPTIST CHURCH, MIDDLETOWN, N. J.
The records of the Middletown Baptist Church have been poorly kept. Prior to 1712 none are known.
From 1712 to 1735 they are meagre and suddenly stop, and leave us uninformed of church matters, until 1785. Space has been left between these dates, 1735-1785, from which it would appear that former church clerks kept their records loosely, and often as personal, rather than church property, with intent to insert them at convenient time, and such has recently been proven the case by the discovery of Elder Mott's Journal.
