Members of Sand Run Baptist Church, Boone Co., Kentucky, 1819-1867 The following two membership lists are from the earliest Church minute books and have been transcribed and electronically published with the kind permission of the Pastor and Trustees of the current Sand Run Baptist Church. The Minute Books remain in the possession of the Church at 1327 North Bend Rd., Hebron, KY 41048 (as of August 1997). Sand Run Church was formed on March 20, 1819, by 77 members of nearby Bullitsburg Baptist Church. Bullitsburg Church was the oldest in the North Bend Baptist Association of Kentucky, having been constituted in June 1794. (No such membership lists are known to survive at Bullitsburg Church.) The Sand Run lists are invaluable since, inter alia, they indicate likely family groups including all names and show what happened to the parishoners--e.g., they provide death dates long before any civil authority kept them--or show by obtaining letters of recommendation to a new church that members likely moved. The "aliases" are the later married names of female members, most of which correspond with civil marriage records in the county archives. Note some overlap between the two lists, especially at the beginning of the second list. Use your browser's "find" feature to search for specific names. (Remember that the spelling of names varied considerably in those days.) There are two additional lists in the minute books of Black members of the Church (not copied here). The asterisks designate those members that were baptized into the church. The minutes themselves include some additional information about individuals, such as place of origin, reasons for dismissals, etc., as well as information about church administrative business. Interestingly, the minutes show that church regulations were to be adopted by majority, except for the admission and dismissal of members, which was decided by unanimity. The lists were transcribed by Stephen W. Worrel and Anne W. Fitzgerald in 1996-97.
