The Baptist Church is the largest single denomination in the Southern United States.

Although published in Charleston and Columbia, persons from surrounding states can also be found in this database. The notices come from the following newspapers: Southern Baptist and General Intelligencer, Charleston (1835-1837); Southern Baptist, Charleston (1847-1860); and Confederate Baptist, Columbia (1862-1865).
