Founder of the Free Will Baptist Church in Texas

I've just posted a series on my blog titled Angus McAllister Stewart: “Man of God, Friend of All Mankind,” and the “Founding Father” of the Free Will Baptist Church in Texas. After graduating from Buford Academy in Gwinnett County, Georgia, he came to Texas to teach school and also founded a Free Will Baptist Church at/near Clayton in Panola County, Texas in 1876. This was not far from the site of the first Baptist church organized in Panola County.

Rather than try to copy and paste here (it's rather lengthy), I will post a link to navigate to the 8 posts in the series.

This is a work in progress, and I welcome any feedback -- questions, quandaries, comments, complaints!

Thanks.

 

No, not Free Will Baptist, but I am finding their history interesting. And this particular person (A. M. Stewart) started churches in the county where I live and neighboring counties, so relevant to local history as well.
