For both the historian and the genealogist, the Seventh Day Baptist
Church of Newport, Rhode Island is unique. Founded in 1671 from
Baptist roots, its members were deeply involved in the formative
years of our nation in religious, political and educational
development. Their descendants were a part of the westward
migrations. The church records are an important source of
historical and family history covering more than three centuries.
This Newport history is recorded in three parts. Part I, "Entering
Into Covenant," is a documented history of the church itself,
including its founding, its meeting house, which still stands as a
part of the Newport Historical Society property, and the impact of
its members on the life of colonial America. Part II, "Membership
Records," contains a list of members of the First Baptists of
Newport from 1671 until 1884, when the church ceased to exist. The
repetition of names on lists of different time periods may help to
delineate family connections of some of the church members. A
portion of the membership records of the First Baptist Church is
included to show the names of those who separated to form the
Seventh Day Baptist Church. Part III, "Mother Hubbard's Cupboard Is
Not Bare," is a genealogical study of the descendants of Samuel and
Tacy Hubbard, the most prominent family of their time, and active
members of the First Baptist Church in Newport. The listings of
these families were compiled from records and genealogies within
the archives of the Seventh Day Baptist Historical Society. A
surname index adds to the value of this work.
This book is a compilation of Seventh Day Baptists records and
statistics for Central New York State beginning in 1797. Seventh
Day Baptists were amongst the first settlers in the area, making
their records especially valuable. Original records located in
