Background

Scope and content:

Includes two minute books. The first volume covers the period from 5 March 1834 to 8 October 1859. Membership lists appear on pages 113-128. They are not well organized, but many of the names here, as well as in the body of the minutes, reveal evidence of German origin (Accession 26598). The second volume covers the period from 15 October 1859 to 15 June 1861, and from 4 July 1863 to January 1866. Membership lists appear on pages 6 and 25 (Accession 26612).

Biographical / historical:

Constituted in 1833 as Patterson's Creek Church, the name was changed to Zion Hill around 1840. For more information see, VIRGINIA BAPTIST REGISTER, no. 5 (1966): p. 219.
