The first Baptist church in Maryland was founded in Chestnut Ridge in 1709. The Maryland Baptist Union Association was established in 1836. This fine little book is valuable for the abundance of names it contains: lists of church officers, Sunday school teachers, pastors, etc. It lists fifty-six church histories in chronological order of organization. Some histories are quite lengthy, while others are very brief. An appendix contains several biographical sketches of leaders in the Maryland Baptist Community. The text is illustrated with engravings of churches and church founders.
The "Maryland Gazette" was published in Annapolis between the years 1727 and 1839. From its infancy it carried occasional references to marriages and deaths of Maryland citizens. Drawing on this unique resource, the text of Mr. Barnes' book consists of abstracts of approximately 3,000 marriages and deaths of Marylanders--not only from the Annapolis area but from the entire state. A surname index to brides, ministers, and others, including parents and relatives, serves as a guide to an additional 2,000 persons.
This book explores the varied terrain of religious activity in early national Baltimore. It examines the development and consequences of the voluntary church system in one urban center during the ferment and change of the formative age for American religion.
