The records of the First Baptist Church of Marcellus, are a treasure to our Eggleston family. The records start about 1807. The Articles of Faith and Covenant are not dated. The records mention baptisms of some of these members, so the Church may have been meeting and having baptisms before writing and signing the official Articles and Covenant.

On my 2001 visit to Marcellus, I was allowed to make photocopies of some of the records. I copied all the membership lists we found.

The title page of the records of this church reads:

Church Book for the first Baptist Church in Marcellus

How good & how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in Unity. . .
Tis like the oil that was poured upon [Our Savior’s] head that ran down to the skirt of his garment

How beautious are their feet
Who stand on Zion’s hill
Who bring salvation on their tongues
And words of peace reveal

Church Articles of faith & practice

1st We believe in God the Father, Son & Holy Ghost as one God, though three in Office, Eternal, Unchangeable, and everywhere present God who hath made all things for his own glory.
2nd We believe that the Scriptures of the old and new Testaments are the revealed word of God and are the only rule of Faith and practice.
3rd We believe that God made man upright but that they have sought out many in[tentions] and fallen from their first rectitude into an estate of sin and total moral depravity, and as such are justly under the condemnation of Gods laws.
4th We believe that God in his own self-moving goodness gave his only begotten son to be a mediator between God and man, who gave himself a ransom for all to be testified in due time.
5th We believe that God chose the bride of Christ in Him, from before the foundation of the World, and that He will by his own Almighty power call, regenerate, sanctify & justify them by his grace unto Eternal Glory.

6th We believe in the institution of external water baptism which [shall] only be administered by immersion.
7th We believe that none but such as are believers in Christ and real saints and baptized by Immersion and in membership with some Church have a right to the Lord’s supper.
8th We believe that the Church is a body of real saints who are united in the bonds of the Gospel and whose external practices agree with the word of God.

9th We believe in the death and resurrection of the body, both of the just and unjust and that they shall all appear before the bar of God to be judged & rewarded according to the deeds done in the body.
10th We believe that the first day of the week ought to be improved in holy exercise & worship towards God, and that men ought not to forsake the assembling of themselves together as the manner of some is.
11th We believe it is the duty of every head of a family to worship God in their families both by prayer & thanksgiving.
12th We believe the Lord’s supper is an institution of Christ, and ought to be attended to by his Church until he come.
13th We believe that it is the duty of the members of the Church to communicate of their substance by Equality for the help of the Minister the relief of the poor of the Church and the necessary use of the Church as God in (h)is providence shall call.

The Covenant

We the visible members of the Church of Christ in this place fully & severally fellowship the above said articles of Faith and enter into Covenant with God and each other in the fear of the Lord to watch over and call after each other for good and as much as in us lies by God’s help to promote the public cause of Christ & religion before saint and sinner as directed by the word of God and as he by his grace shall assist us.

There is no date on this document. It is placed in the records after entries dated November 1809 (p. 32) and the following page has the date Nov. 10th 1809. Articles of Faith and practice on pages 33 and 34. List of Brethren and Sisters names are on pages 35 and 36. It appears that page numbers were added later. There are numbers written after each name—the men totaling 72 and the women 84, though there are a few women’s names without a number. Some of the names have an abbreviated notation before or after the name Ex, End, Dis. I have added these in parentheses after the name. Where there are two notations, one was before the name. It appears these were added later. Also some of the names may have been added later as Thomas Marsh and Wyllys Manly at the end of the Brethren list joined the church in 1811.

Eggleston Family Members among the Covenant Members

This lists Brethren on the left and Sisters on the right. Probably at some later time, someone wrote numbers after the names, which is helpful. I have no idea of the reason for the order in which members are listed. Many of the names are familiar to me after studying Marcellus census and land records. At different times I have been able to make additional connections and identification of people on this list.

Thomas Tanner is #16 on the men’s list. He came to Marcellus very early with his first wife Phebe Eggleston. She was a daughter of Samuel and Rebecca Eggleston. After Phebe died, Thomas married her sister Karen Eggleston.

John Eggleston is #20. This would be the John Eggleston who owned land along the lake. After he and his wife Rachel sold this land in 1817, I  don’t know where they went. They had sold land in Argyle, Washington County, NY before coming to Marcellus. It is very likely that John was a son of Samuel and Rebecca, but I have not been able to confirm that.

Samuel Eggleston follows John at #21. This would be Samuel Jr., the son of Samuel and Rebecca.

Next is Nathan Eggleston #22. Samuel Eggleston Sr. sold land to Nathan for “love and affection to my son”.

Joshua Covey is #44. He was married to Coran/Karen Eggleston, the daughter of Joseph Eggleston and Coran, and sister of Rebecca, Samuel’s wife.

Simeon Skeels is #63. He was the father of Isaac Skeels, who later married Anna Eggleston, the daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth Hill Eggleston.

Thomas Marsh is #71. He married Lucy Eggleston, another daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth.

On the Sister’s side Elizabeth Eggleston, most likely Samuel Jr.’s wife is #32.

Early Alphabetized Membership List

This list is not dated, but it has some dates apparently written in later. It appears to be pre-1812. There are also notations of people who were dismissed or died. Joshua Covey has ex after his name. He was excluded and later reinstated. The Egglestons include Samuel, Nathan, John and Elizabeth who were on the original list.

Notes:

I did my best to transcribe these names, some of which were rather hard to read. Please let me know of obvious errors. I would also love to know anything other know about these people. I have become familiar with many of them through my research in the area, but even recently found new connections. I am sure there are many more.
