      The following is the first entry of the Record Book:

      “During the winter and spring of 1850 it pleased God to pour out His Spirit in the neighborhood of South Perry.  There were a number of conversion; and, after consultation and prayer it was deemed advisablt to form a Church to be known as the Narragansett Baptist Church of South Kingstown.

      “On the Lord’s day, the 28^th of July 1850,

      Robert Dennis,    Joseph Eaton,

      John Pratt,     Edward Oatley,

      John Tourgee,    Mrs. Tourgee,

      David Nason,    Sarah Freeborn,

      Mr. Lord.

Agreed to the subjoined Articles of Faith and were organized as a Church.

      “An appropriate Sermon was preached by the Rev. William L. Dennis who

offered the prayer of recognition.  The Rev. John Pratt addressed the Church.  All the services were of an interesting and profitable character.”

      The Meeting House was dedicated Jan. 23, 1851.

      Note:  The letter b before the first date is for baptism: o m is for an old member whether of this Church or some previous one, or had been for a time a professed Christian.
