Baptist · Berryville as the cited records state it

Also written: Buck Marsh church. Each name is shown as a source gives it.

This page rests on one record.

All churches of Clarke County · How to read these pages

Is this the same congregation or building?

IDENTITY Likely Gold heads the page "Berryville Baptist Church" and says the first company was constituted into Buck Marsh church; Taylor's sketches name a "Berryville Church" in Clarke County, and the link to Gold's church rests on the name.

What the records say

Each line is a statement from a cited source, in the source's own terms, with the three questions asked of it. Same congregation or building as the one on this page? Same body or building under another name or at another site?

Gold's 1914 history, under the page heading "Berryville Baptist Church," says that in 1772 Daniel and William Fristoe, brothers and Baptist preachers from Stafford County, began preaching in private houses near Battletown, now Berryville, and gathered a company of baptized believers "who were constituted into Buck Marsh church."

Gold's 1914 history, under the page heading "Berryville Baptist Church," says that in 1772 Daniel and William Fristoe, brothers and Baptist preachers from Stafford County, began preaching in private houses near Battletown, now Berryville, and gathered a company of baptized believers "who were constituted into Buck Marsh church."

What the source supports

What Gold says about the founding of the Baptist congregation at Berryville and the name it was first constituted under.

Uncertainty

Gold's date is as printed and he names no earlier source for it; no minute book was seen. The identity of "Buck Marsh church" with the church at Berryville is Gold's own, under his heading. The page also says a house of worship was built half a mile from Berryville (not quoted here). Each cited passage was read twice, the second time independently: first as a rendered page image of a digital reproduction (a 300 dpi render of the stated PDF page), then on a cropped image of the same page. Both readings support the claim; neither was of the paper itself. The crop is held privately and is not shown on this site. Nothing beyond the quoted passage was read from the page. No human historian has reviewed this claim.

What the source supports

The sequence of pastors Gold gives, from Monroe to Dodge, for the Berryville Baptist church.

Uncertainty

Gold writes "Fristoe" with no first name on this page, and the text between the pastorate of Rev. James Ireland (see C1349) and Monroe's was not reviewed, so the list as printed here is not a complete succession. The only date is 1852 for Baker. The list goes on past the quoted words.

Where Gold places the old Buck Marsh church.

Trap Hill is a place and a graveyard, not a congregation. Gold's sentence begins "His remains lie in the old graveyard"; the man it refers to is named above the reviewed crop.

What the source supports

What Gold says about the move to a brick building at Berryville, the change of name and a later building.

Uncertainty

Gold's date is approximate ("About 1840") and is not given as exact here. This is the only source read for the change of name, so the renaming is Gold's statement and is not confirmed by a second source. The 1885 building date is Gold's too.

What the source supports

That Taylor names a "Berryville Church" in Clarke County that licensed and ordained a minister who came to Berryville in 1848.

Uncertainty

The minister's name is on the page before the reviewed crop and was not read, so it is not given here. Taylor does not say "Buck Marsh," and the tie to Gold's church rests on the name and on Clarke County; no church record was seen.

That Taylor names a "Berryville Church" as the body a man was baptized into.

Uncertainty

The man is named above the reviewed crop and is not named here. The crop names no county, so which Berryville is meant is not shown on it. The reviewed text goes on to quote a letter of January 11, 1870 that mentions a young man from Berryville; that letter is not used, because the crop ends mid-quotation. No church record was seen.

What the source supports

That Taylor reports 78 baptisms for the Berryville church, then in the Salem Union Association, in a year given on the page.

Uncertainty

"HENRY W. DODGE" on the reviewed crop is the page's running head, not body text. The year that "This year" refers to is in the text above the crop and was not read. The sketch is about a minister named Dodge, and Gold lists a Rev. Henry Dodge among the pastors (see C1350); whether the two are one man, and whether "the Berryville church" is Gold's, rests on the surname and the place, not on a record.
