Tracing the westward migrations of the colonial Seventh-day Baptists. Milton, Wisconsin was one of their most successful settlements. One of the reasons was the founding and support of Milton College. Other SDB settlements that are well represented in this file include: Hopkinton and Westerly, RI; Berlin, Brookfield, Alfred, Verona and Adams, NY; Albion and Walworth, WI; Farina and West Hallock, IL; Garwin and Welton, IA; Dodge Center, MN; Nortonville, KS; and North Loup, NE. I prefer e-mail to Post-ems.

    Sorry to say, but the page numbers got misplaced on all my source references in the process of changing tree programs in March, 2007. I will have to manually move each of them to where they need to be for extract purposes. That should only take about 10 years or so. Also, for some reason TMG exports children in record number sequence rather than birth-date sequence. The main activity in January was posting Sabbath Recorder obits.
