County-Line – White Plains Baptist Church Minutes
\n[Independent United Baptist Church]
\nBradley and Meigs Counties 1843 – 1864<\/strong><\/p>\n

Transcriber’s note:  No attempt was made to correct or standardize spellings. Names appear just as they did in the W.P.A. typescript.  An individual\u2019s name may appear under more than one spelling. For example, the name Fitzgerald appears as F.Garald, Fitzjerrell, Fgarald.<\/p>\n

The transcription provided to Bradley County TNGenWeb is lengthy.  We have divided it into smaller sections for easier on-line reading and study.<\/p>\n

W.P.A. transcribers placed the minute book\u2019s original page numbers in brackets. <\/p>\n

The location of the original minute book is unknown.<\/p>\n
