Sabbatarians -- History
This church, a branch of the former, was organized in 1834, and was
served by Prentice C. Maine as licentiate, for some time. At present it
has no settled pastor, but is supplied with ministerial assistance by
travelling missionaries.
THIRD SEVENTH-DAY BAPTIST CHURCH, GENESEE, NEW YORK.
This church, likewise a branch of the former, was organized in 1842, but
remained until 1843 without a settled pastor, when their spiritual
charge was assumed by L. D. Ayres, who remained until 1847.
Rev. H. P. Green, the present incumbent, was installed 1848.
SEVENTH-DAY BAPTIST CHURCH, CLARENCE, ERIE COUNTY, NEW YORK.
This church was organized in 1828, although Sabbatarians had for some
time previous been among the inhabitants of the country, and maintained
worship upon their holy day. They remained for a long time without a
pastor, but, in 1838, Rev. Nathan V. Hull consented to settle among
them. In 1839, James H. Cochran was returned as licentiate, and
subsequently, in 1846, as pastor.
At present they have no settled minister.
SEVENTH-DAY BAPTIST CHURCH, FRIENDSHIP, NEW YORK.
This community, like that of Alfred, dates back to an early period. It
originated, likewise, from an emigration of the members of older
churches. Between the years 1812 and 1820, many families in connexion
with the New Jersey fraternities removed to this place, and became the
pioneers of our faith in its then lonely regions. In 1824 a church was
constituted. Rev. John Green became its first pastor, in which relation
he continued until 1833, when
Rev. Walter B. Gillette succeeded him, and remained until 1842, when he
removed to another field.
Rev. Zuriel Campbell followed, who continued until 1845.
Rev. A. A. F. Randolph, his successor, had been for some time his
colleague.
Rev. B. F. Robbins, a man of deep piety and irreproachable character,
who embraced the Sabbath in 1845, is the present incumbent.
A short time since Elder John Green visited this place, and his
presence, as usual, was attended with a gracious revival.
SEVENTH-DAY BAPTIST CHURCH, HARTSVILLE, ALLEGHANY COUNTY, NEW YORK.
This infant community, a branch of the Alfred Church, was organized in
1847.
Rev. Hiram Cornwell is its present pastor.
It gives a cheering promise of future efficiency and usefulness.
SEVENTH-DAY BAPTIST CHURCH, HAYFIELD, PENNSYLVANIA.
