The Hog Swamp Baptist Church was constituted around 1844. In that year Redden 
Britt and Cader Willouby gave one acre of land to the Hog Swamp Free Will 
Baptist Church. The Trustees of the said church were Thomas Britt, Fleetwood 
Walters, and Jordan Dean. This deed is recorded in Robeson County Courthouse, 
Book 3, Page 74. The land was given by Redden Britt and Cader Willouby because 
of their love for the church.

Reddin Britt died in 1849 and is said to have been buried at Edmunds's Mill. 
He was one of the deacons of the Hog Swamp Baptist Church.

The land given for the church was located on he East Side of Hog Swamp and was 
to belong to the church as long as he church continued to exist.

Witness's to the transaction were Stephan D. Collins an Robert Hendren.

The earliest record of Deacons is 1894 when W P Walters, J C Freeman, J E 
Walters, W J Purvis, W Lovett, and Bright Atkinson were Deacons.

Hog Swamp Baptist Church is located on the Wire Grass Road off of 41 in 
Robeson County.
