                                   AND

                   THE SOUTH MATTAMUSKEET BAPTIST CHURCH



A Concise History of the Kehukee Baptist Association by Lemuel Burditt
and Jesse Read, 1803. The Kehukee Baptist Association, named for a founding
church in Halifax County, was an association of Baptist churches located in
northeastern North Carolina. In Chapter XII of this History is a
description of each church that was a member. On page 224 is the following:

         "The Church at Mattamuskeet, Hyde County, North Carolina"

"From the remote distance that this church is from us, we have but a small
acquaintance with her state and standing. The local situation of the
church, as it is environed with swamps, desarts, creeks, rivers, etc.
renders it very inconvenient to get at. This church has several years been
a member of our Association, but she seldom attends at our annual
appointments. Her number of members, according to last accounts, was about
60. They are under the pastoral care of William Carrowon."
