Sabbatarians -- History
Rev. John Green, his successor, continued four years, and was succeeded
by
Rev. Sebeus M. Burdick, who, in 1841, resigned the office to
Rev. William B. Maxson, who remained for two or three years, and was
succeeded by
Rev. O. P. Hull, for a short period, when Elder Maxson, the present
incumbent, was again installed.
Several licentiates have, at different times, been connected with this
church. Of these we may mention Charles Card, in 1832, and more
recently, Charles M. Lewis, Waitstill Phillips, and David Burdick.
SECOND SEVENTH-DAY BAPTIST CHURCH, BROOKFIELD, NEW YORK.
This community, a branch of the First Brookfield Church, was organized
in 1823, and Eli S. Bailey became its first pastor. Under his ministry
the church enjoyed several of those auspicious seasons denominated
revivals of religion, and continued many years in a state of general
peace and prosperity. Elder Bailey was educated for the medical
profession, which he pursued for some time with eminent success. At this
period neither his habits of life nor associations gave promise of his
ever becoming a Christian minister; but, notwithstanding that his
profession was one of honour, and opened before him a fair path to
wealth and eminence, his heart turned towards the task of winning souls
to God. In 1839, James Bailey was associated as licentiate, and
subsequently as elder, in the ministry of this church. Rev. Samuel B.
Crandall succeeded in 1842, and continued for one year, when Elder
Bailey again assumed the spiritual charge, which he continues to
exercise.
THIRD SEVENTH-DAY BAPTIST CHURCH, BROOKFIELD, NEW YORK.
This church, like the former, originated from the First Brookfield
Church, and was also organized in 1823.
Rev. Daniel Coon became its first pastor, in which relation he continued
until 1836.
Rev. Samuel B. Crandall, his successor, and the present incumbent was
licensed in 1831, and ordained in 1832, since which period, with the
exception of one year, he has been connected with this church.[39]
SEVENTH-DAY BAPTIST CHURCH, TRUXTON, NEW YORK.
Originally, this church was composed of emigrant members from the First
Brookfield Church. Its distinct organization took place in 1824. In 1826
it became the seat of Rev. Alexander Campbell, who remained until 1833.
Rev. Zuriel Campbell, his successor, was licensed in 1835, and ordained
in 1838. Subsequent to his removal, which took place in 1839,
Rev. Russell G. Burdick, assumed the spiritual care for one year. He was
followed by Elias Rogers as licentiate, who, in 1844, was succeeded by
Solomon Coon, and Varnum Burdick, in the same capacity. Varnum Burdick
is the present incumbent.
