16. Another order of Presbyterians in this country is known as the "Associate Reformed Church." Since 1822, the denomination has existed in three independent divisions, the Northern, the Western, and the Southern. These divisions are quite small in numbers, and their growth has been insignificant. They have been stated as follows: The Associate Reformed Synod of New York in 1843 had 34 ministers and 43 congregations. In 1867, it had 16 ministers and 1,631 members. The Associate Reformed Synod of the South in 1843 had 25 ministers and 40 congregations; and in 1867, estimated at 1,500 members. The Associate Synod of North America in 1867 had 11 ministers and 778 members. The Free Presbyterian Synod, consisting, in 1861, of 41 ministers and 4,000 members, had previously separated from the New School Presbyterian denomination, but was reunited and absorbed after the outbreak of the recent war. 17. The Independent Presbyterian Church in South and North Carolina consisted, in 1861, of 4 ministers and about 1,000 members. 18. Another denomination of Presbyterians remains to be noticed. It is called the "Cumberland Presbyterians" and first appeared in Kentucky in the year 1800. In 1829, there were four synods and the first General Assembly of the denomination was held. During the recent war the Southern churches were not reported in the Assembly, and there are no complete statistics of that period. The numbers of the denomination have been stated as follows: Synods. Presby. Min. Conversions. 1822 1 -- 46 2,718 1826 1 -- 80 3,305 1827 1 -- 114 4,006 1833 6 32 -- 5,977 1843 13 57 -- -- Ministers. Churches. Members. 1860 927 1,188 84,249 1867 1,000 estimated 100,000 1870 1,116 -- 87,727 The average annual increase in 55 years, from 1812 to 1867, has been 1,819. 19. Another large class of denominations is known by the name of "Baptists." They are divided into ten separate sects: Baptists; Free-Will Baptists; Seventh-Day Baptists; German Baptists or Brethren; German Seventh-Day Baptists; Free Communion Baptists; Old School Baptists; Six-Principle Baptists; River Brethren; Disciples of Christ, or Campbellites. An estimate of the numbers of the regular Baptists at different periods, made by themselves, presents the following results:
