Volume IX of the Baptists in Early North America Series provides a
unique window into the inner life of the Sandy Creek Baptist
Tradition. The records of Sandy Creek Baptist Church in North
Carolina were destroyed by a fire, leaving a gap in the historical
record. Baptists in Early North America--Abbott's Creek, North
Carolina, Baptist Church, Volume IX, containing the records of the
first church founded by Shubal Stearns and Daniel Marshall after
their Separate Baptist movement took off at Sandy Creek, helps to
fill this gap. Abbott's Creek, like many churches in the Sandy
Creek tradition, experienced significant growth during the Second
Great Awakening. This growth was followed by an increase in church
discipline, then controversy, and eventually schism over the newly
formed convention system among North Carolina Baptists. The church
split in 1832 with Abbott's Creek Primitive Baptist Church
continuing with the majority of members and Abbott's Creek
Missionary Baptist Church forming a new congregation a few hundred
yards away. The records contained in this volume begin in 1783 when
the church was reconstituted following the Revolutionary War and
continue through 1836. The records cover the ministries of George
Pope and Ashley Swaim and the church's controversy over mission
methods focusing on the work of Samuel Wait. The annotations
included along with the transcribed minutes include information
about the work of the Sandy Creek Baptist Association, of which
Abbott's Creek was a founding member. An extensive bibliography and
indexes are included.
