THE FIRST FREE-COMMUNION BAPTIST CHURCH OF 



ADDISON. 



This church was constituted July 5, 1829, in what is 

 now the southeastern part of Tuscarora, with 19 members, 

 Rev. Aaron Baxter, who had preached to them since 

 1825, being the first elder of the new church. 



The first deacons were Samuel Mack and Migeman Taft ; 

 Clerk, Enoch Mack. Among the first members were 

 George and Elizabeth Manly, James Sprague, Eliba and 

 Abigail Albee, Jonas Schoonover, David Hart, William, 

 Zadoc, Lydia, and Polly Mack, Abigail Baxter, Eunice 

 Hackett, Hannah Carr, and John Webster. The first 

 meetings were held in the house of Archibald Manly. In 

 1830, 28 names were added to the list, of whom 23 were 

 added by baptism, among whom were Simeon Freeman, 

 Daniel Schoonover, and Almira Albee as the result of a 

 revival, during which Elder Baxter was assisted by Rev. 

 Hiram Bacon. These were all baptized in the Cowanesque 

 River, at Nelson, or " Beecher's Island," Pa., in the early 

 part of winter, on a very cold day, ice having already 

 formed on the river. This revival occasioned an unusual 

 amount of excitement among all classes, and is still remem- 

 bered as " the great reformation." 



In 1831 meetings were held in the school-house near 

 Alfred Nichols'. In 1834, Simeon Freeman was chosen 

 deacon, which position he held until his death, which oc- 

 curred in 1871, at the age of sixty-three years. Adron 

 Smith, Tubal Baxter, and Archibald Manley were licensed 

 to exhort, and the same year Cyrus Sprague was chosen 

 deacon. A committee was also formed in 1834, to meet as 

 representatives of this society at the Free Baptist Church 

 quarterly meeting, for the purpose of uniting with them. 

 This committee was composed of Deacon Simeon Freeman 

 and Elder Dyer Woodworth. A union was effected, and 

 the church became the First Free Baptist Church of Addi- 

 son. In 1847 the society appointed Simeon Freeman, Seth 

 Albee, and Daniel Strait, Trustees; and Daniel Albee, Clerk; 

 and a church building was immediately erected in the 

 Nichols neighborhood, in the southern part of the town. 

 Their pastor at the time of the change. Dyer Woodworth, 

 also joined the new organization. 



List of pastors: Revs. Samuel Dean, Dyer Woodworth, 

 Simon T. Aldrich, John J. Allen, Benjamin F. Mack, 

 Amos Wing, John W. Brown, B. F. Herrick, and Levi 

 Kellogg, present pastor. 



Present officers: George H. Freeman, Daniel Albee, John 

 Wright, Deacons ; G. H. Freeman, Clerk ; I. S. Albee, 0. 

 C. Manley, John Wright, Trustees; A. M. Hathaway, 

 Society Clerk. Present membership, 113. The church 

 has been recently repaired at an expense of $1200, making 

 it in reality a new church.
