terest had been organized in 1815. At Wheelock (after 1862, Walden and Wheelock), where an original interest began in 1800, the church was organized in 1840, and retained its visibility for over forty years. About 1841, temporary interests appeared at Second Waterford, Second Danville (West Danville, 1800), and Kirby, and a year or two later, at Monroe and at Orleans. The Coventry church, organized in 1841, was known as the Coventry and Brownington after 1860, and ten years later was reorganized, in 1870, as the Brownington church.


By 1845, churches were organized at Albany, Danville (after 1870, called North Danville); Second Lyndon, Lyndon Center, (called Lyndon Center after the loss of the First Lyndon or Lyndon Hill, in 1857); Goshen Gore (Goshen Gore and West Wheelock in 1865); in 1846, Wolcott (after 1860, Wolcott and Hardwick), was organized, and soon after, Colebrook. By 1860, Irasburg, New- port (Newport Center, after 1870), and Westmore had appeared, and the Quarterly Meeting had nineteen churches with over seven hundred members. In 1861, Craftsbury and South Barton (re- organized in 1887), were added, and West Charleston, in 1864. By 1870, East Haven and Stannard (soon Stannard), and West Wheelock churches were reported.

though new interests had appeared, as Third Huntington, Underhill, Lincoln, Hinesburg (organized in 1832). The membership in 1832, was four hundred and one. In the next two years it rose to four hundred and sixty-two, and Dresden church reported. In 1835, four churches of this Quarterly Meeting united with three new churches to form the Rutland Quarterly Meeting. In 1835, Bolton Reckerhill church appeared. In 1836, the Quarterly Meet- ing still had three hundred and ninety-four members in eleven churches, including Waterbury (reorganized in 1836), old organiza- tion, 1819), with nine ministers. In 1837, Danbury and Second Starksboro were added. In 1839, Second Underhill (Underhill Center, after 1853), Second Huntington and the Warren churches appeared; Waterbury Center in 1841; Second Stowe, in 1843; and, in 1844, the churches at West Craftsbury and in Morristown.


In 1846, the Quarterly Meeting had seventeen churches, with as many ministers and six hundred and seventy-six members. Temporary interests appeared at Elmore, in 1843; Second Middle- sex, in 1850; and Craftsbury, in 1852. In 1856, Stowe, West Branch, was organized; in 1858, Walcott, West Branch; in 1859, West Berlin, and in 1860, Jonesville. In 1860, the membership was four hundred and ninety-eight, with twelve churches and as many ministers. In 1870, the Waterbury Center church was divided to form the Waterbury Center and Waterbury River church. The same year churches were organized at Cambridge and at Fayston, and four years later, at Morristown Center, and at South Starksboro. The Quarterly Meeting now had sixteen churches, with seven hundred and ninety members. In 1887, the Quarterly Meeting had six hundred and twenty-four members, with nine ministers, and twelve churches, as follows: Hunting- ton, 1817; Waterbury Center, 1819; Starksboro, 1821: Middlesex, 1823; Lincoln, 1832; Underhill Center, 1839; Warren, 1839; Stowe (West Branch), 1856; Waterbury River, 1870; Cambridge, 1870; Fayston, 1870; and Morristown, 1874.

In 1831, this Quarterly Meeting reported Dover with eighty- five members; Dummerston, forty-five; Florida (Mass.), fifteen;


616


HISTORY OF THE BAPTISTS IN VERMONT


Guilford, twenty-three; Hinsdale (N. H.), fifty; Halifax, nineteen; Whitingham, forty-seven. Total membership, three hundred and twenty-one. Being isolated, this Yearly Meeting did not unite with any Quarterly Meeting. In 1840, the Dummerston church disappeared; in 1842, the Guilford church was lost; in 1845, the Whitingham church was lost.


With the disappearance of the Dover church, in 1845, the little Quarterly Meeting drifted wholly into Massachusetts, and became the Franklin Quarterly Meeting, which, after reporting three years, disappeared.


ENOSBURG QUARTERLY MEETING


In 1832, the Quarterly Meeting had fourteen churches, with eight preachers, and two hundred and thirty-five members. Dur- ing the next few years, temporary interests appeared at Hog Island, Alburg and St. Avanon. In 1841, the Second Enosburg interest was organized with eight members. In 1842, the Brome, Bolton, and Farnham East churches were dismissed to form the Brome Quarterly Meeting. In 1845, an interest was organized at Berk- shire, with seven members, and another at East Farnham with ten members. The East Farnham, which joined the Brome Quar- terly Meeting, had disappeared. The Old East Farnham had been the First Farnham, (organized in 1825); East Farnham, (1845), was known as Second Farnham; West Farnham (1832), beeame First Farnham. In 1846, a church was organized with nine members at Lowell. The next year the Quarterly Meeting had two hundred and thirty-four members, against two hundred and thirty-five in 1832. In 1850, Rice Hill appeared on the roll with forty-three members. In 1851, Bakersfield (old interest organized in 1826), was organized with fifteen members, and two years later, Fletcher, with twelve members. In 1858, the Quar- terly Meeting had nine churches, four ministers, and two hundred and thirty-eight members. The next year Sheldon appeared. In 1861, Bolton again appeared, and, in 1873, Brome was added. The Quarterly Meeting had one hundred and twelve members, three ministers, and five churches: at Enosburg (1823), Frank- lin, Farnham, (East Farnham 1825, 1845); Bolton, (West Bolton,

1828, 1861); Brome (West Brome by 1842). The report in 1886, had these same five churches with five pastors and one hundred and nine members.


THE RUTLAND QUARTERLY MEETING


Organized in 1835, by the union of the four churches from the Huntington Quarterly Meeting; Benson, organized 1823; Putnam (N. Y.), 1829; Rutland, 1833, (West Rutland after 1845); Dres- den (N. Y.), 1834, with the churches in Northeastern New York at Fort Ann, Warrensburg, and Whitehall, (all organized in 1835).


The Quarterly Meeting had in its seven churches two hun- dred and fifteen members, with two ministers. It was not then connected with the Quarterly Meeting. In 1836, churches were added at Caldwell and Danby, with their pastors. From 1839, the Quarterly Meeting was reported under the Yearly Meeting. In 1839, Johnsburg was added; in 1841, Minerva Branch; in 1842, Middletown, and in 1843, Hadley. The Quarterly Meeting now had eleven churches, with seven ministers, and two hundred and thirty-one members. A church was organized at Day, in 1848. In 1849, the Quarterly Meeting had two hundred and forty-eight members with ten churches and nine ministers. The next year Bolton church appeared. Its four pastorless churches at Dresden, Fort Ann, Middletown and West Rutland had failed to report for several years. In 1855, its five churches at Caldwell, Hadley, Johnsburg, Putnam and Warrensburg, with nine minis- ters, became known as the Lake George Quarterly Meeting and united with central New York Yearly Meeting.


THE CORINTH QUARTERLY MEETING-ORGANIZED 1836


This body was organized by the Strafford Quarterly Meeting, yielding for this purpose the churches as follows: First Corinth (1798), Vershire (1800), Washington (1802), Northfield, First Orange (East Orange), West Roxbury, East Brookfield, West Brookfield, (1816), (1836), Topsham, Berlin, and Moretown (1833), Second Corinth (1833), Newbury (1834), and East Williamstown (1835).


618


HISTORY OF THE BAPTISTS IN VERMONT


In 1835, a Second West Brookfield church was organized with fifteen members. In 1837, West Fairlee, Middlesex, and Second Orange churches reported. In 1839, East Roxbury was added and the number reached seven hundred and ninety-eight. By 1855, several of the smaller churches had disappeared and the Quarterly Meeting had but ten churches and three hundred and forty-nine members. The Second Orange church disappearing in 1853 reappeared in 1859 for a few years. In 1859, a church in Groton was organized with nineteen members. In 1875, the Quarterly Meeting had three hundred and fifty-five members and six of its original churches. First Corinth (1798), Second Corinth (1833), East Orange (First Orange), West Topsham, (Topsham), East Williamstown (1835) and Washington (1802). A small church in West Berlin which disappeared about 1865, reappeared in 1882, and makes the list in 1888, seven, with a membership, three hundred and five.


1912.


The Free Baptist churches in Vermont have been subject to the same influences that have affected other Baptist churches. Emigration, change in the character of the population and other causes have caused a serious shrinkage in the numerical strength of the denomination. From 1892 to 1911, there has been a change in the statistics for the State from six Quarterly Meetings to three, from forty-nine churches to twenty-seven; from fifty-three min- isters to eighteen, and from two thousand, four hundred and forty- five members to one thousand, seventy-nine. Recent mutual ad- vances of Baptists and Free Baptists toward practical union give ground for the expectation that soon the two denominations will be merged in one.


The Quarterly Meetings are Huntington, Orange County, and Wheelock.


The Huntington Quarterly Meeting consists of five churches, namely, Huntington, thirty-four members; Shady Rill, thirty-five; Starksboro, one hundred and thirty-one; Waterbury Center, thirty-five; Waterbury River, ten. Contributions, $161.55.


The Orange County Quarterly Meeting consists of nine churches,

The Wheelock Quarterly Meeting consists of thirteen churches, nine ministers, resident members, three hundred and seventy-nine; total membership, five hundred and seventy-three. Contributions, $301.81. The churches are Albany, seventeen members; Dun- kirk, fourteen; Enosburg Falls, seventy-seven; Lyndon Center, eighty-five; North Danville, forty-two; First Sheffield, twenty- three; Second Sheffield, twenty-three; South Barton, six; South Wheelock, nine; St. Johnsbury, sixty-four; Sutton, eighty; West Charleston, eighty-four; Wheelock, twenty-five.
