South Jersey, with two exceptions. was
the outcome OF the Baptist Church Of
OohanseF, Cumberland county. AS

OF Pennypack. Pa, preached at
Oohsnsey In 1899 Raw. Thomas
hilllngsWorth. of North Jersey, moved to
Oohansey and took charge of the church,

when he was succeeded by Rev. Timothy
Brooks Mr.. Brooks came to Salem, and,
there being no church edifice here at that
time, he carried on services in private
houses. 1t was not until 1743 that any
dennite move was made toward tine
erection Of q church.
At that time, however, Daniel Smith.
Jr, gave a quarter of en- acre Of land ct
Mill Hollow, in Salem county, for site.
The church proved so successful that on
May II, 1906. the First Baptist Church,
Of Salem, was organized, the FIRST services
being held at Mil Hollow. There were
only nine members on the roll at this
time, and for long while the church was
only kept up by most strenuous efforts.

the membership only increased three.
The hrst pastor of the church, 90 it ID
now known, was Rev. John Sheppard
and he remained in charge until March
II, 1867, on which day he died OF small
pox. The church was then without 9
pastor for four years, but. nevertheless,
services were regularly held. Rev. John
Sutton was next secured, but preached
only short time, and the church was
another year aud a-half without 4 minis
ter. Finally Rev. John Blackwell wal
called; but for some reason did not
remain any lsnger than Sutton. II waE
not until 1853. when Rev. Abel Griffith
took charge. that the church became
firmly established

the pastor, Rev. A. II Sembower. At the
