Free Will Baptist Church
This denomination had quite a good society in 1823, so that they drew more public money than the Methodists that year. But schism got in among them, they died out, and have no longer a name to live in Northfield. Elder Nathaniel King was their prominent preacher.
Sylvanus, son of Col. Ezekiel Robinson, was ordained as a Baptist Elder, by the laying on of hands, by Elders James Morgan, George Hackett, and Ziba Pope, Feb. 27, 1821, and preached here and elsewhere as opportunity presented.
