Historical sketch of the New London Baptist Association from its origins in 1817 to 1850 together with a history of the churches of which it is composed
125 p. 16 cm
While this history of the Baptist churches in New London begins with the establishment of a formal association in 1817, the Baptist in Connecticut date from the 18th century, when Baptists from Rhode Island moved into the eastern and southeastern parts of the state. Rhode Island was the refuge founded by Roger Williams in 1636. There the Baptists welcomed other separatist groups. The relentless sweep of westward emigration brought with it numbers of Baptists from Providence to Westerly and Newport, then into Connecticut. Little is known about the formation of the first Baptist church in Connecticut. However, it seems definite that it was in existence in Groton as early as 1704.
