I have tried to give here as accurate a
representation of the opening minutes and rosters
of Phillippi Primative Baptist Chuch as I could. 
It is far less than I would like and I must warn
that due to poor handwritting, smudged ink an the
fallibility of the transcriber, there are bound
to be errors.  That said, I hope this will be of
some use to you.  Harris Hill.

original found in the Ellaville library.

Georgia, Marion County February 28th 1835

We the scattered Brethern & Sisters of the
Baptist Arder in the third District of Marion
County Georgia having previously Covented
together to become Constituted into a Church met
together at the place appointed on the Day above
written & Joseph J. Battle & Andrew Hood,
Minister of the Gospel being sent for & being
present formed a presbytery & after a due
examination We being found orthodox the
Presbytery pronounced us a church of the Lord
Jesus Christ & gave us the Right hand of
fellowship & we gave the Right hand of fellowship
to one another upon the principals of faith
hereunto annexed & hereunto we have subscribed
our names signed by the Presbytery.

(Transcriber's note:  This opening passage is
followed by the "Principles of Faith" mentioned
above and it is followed by the signatures below.
While there was no key to the codes that follow
the names, I feel fairly certain that Dec. was
for deceased, Dis was for dismissed, and I do not
have any idea as to what the Cx might have
indicated.)

(Transcriber's Note:  The following list is
undated, but it is found in the opening pages of
the minutes, so one might assume that it is an
early roster of the church members.  It is
followed by one 1st Sept. 1844.  The wording on
that 1844 list leads one to conclude that the
list immediately following this note was earlier
than 1844.  Items in [brackets] are my notes.  (
Parenthesis) are as they appeared in this list.)
