Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Historical Sketch of the Baptist Missionary Convention of the State of New York: Embracing a Narrative of the Origin and Progress of the Baptist Denomination in Central and Western New York This resolution was sustained by Br. J. Peck, in remarks giving a brief but deeply interesting account of the origin and progress of this body; after which the following resolution was unanimously passed: Resolved, That Bru. J. Peck and J. Lawton be requested to draw up a succinct and consecutive account Of the origin and progress of this Convention, for publication under the direction of the Board. In compliance' with the above we undertook the work. In View of the whole subject, however, we thought that a full exhibition of the wonderful dealings Of Providence with the Baptist denomination in western New York would require an account Of their settlement and early history in this section. We have therefore given a brief sketch of many incidents which occurred at this early day, connected with the progress of religion and the establishment Of churches. The task, we found, was indeed laborious for, as we intended that our narrative should be strictly authentic, nothing was to be taken on trust, and we were required to make thorough and patient search for such documents as would afford the necessary information.
