Church Records
a
1st Baptist Church of Wantage
“History of the First Baptist Church of Wantage, Sussex, New Jersey”
Revised by Rev. Geo. F. Love in 1874 and by Rev. James Bristow in 1903.
"The following is a copy of the earliest roll of members extant,
with such additions as were made by the church clerks, copied 1931 by
Mrs. Jennie Little Meeker, and she presented to us at that time her
carbon copy of that list which we still have.
(Note: You will comprehend that may names are repeated, this I
assume is due to a re-writing of the rolls).
