where they Free Will Baptists? -- many groups used the term babtist, (all to signify adult baptism.) the Free Will Baptist were one of the larger groups in New England. many of the small remote towns in northern Maine and NH had free will baptist ministers.. the moved into remote areas to avoid taxes, and governmetn interference (post revolutionary war).

a hundred years later, many move to oregon, when the oregon trail opened.. some polital movements can trace their roots to the teaching of the Free will baptist.

Dover Books had (has?) a interest book about many of the early NE religios groups, and the FWB were very influencial-- and almost unheard of today!
