Excerpt from Beginnings: A History of the Founding of Baptist Churches in Transylvania County, 1795-1865
Many books have been written about Baptists in North Carolina including those which are doctrinal, historical, laudatory and condemna tory. Some reminisce while others are written upon scholarly and objective premises Only a few treat Baptists in counties or regions of this state and none deal with them in Transylvania County. Though this thesis is written about Baptist churches in this small, but interesting, county, it is not a comprehensive attempt to bring together a narrative account of these churches and their total effect upon the county and the region. It is an attempt to chronologize this denomination during the three quarters of a century between 1787 and 1865 It will treat Baptist doctrine, growth, discipline and turmoil. Principally it will attempt to show how vital a part they played in the development of Transylvania County.
