They obtained letter of demission from their several churches and appointed a meeting to be held on Friday, the 5th Lord's day in August, 1834. They met at Moses Denman's home on August 30, 1834. Meady Whity, Holland M. Middleton, and Jesse Thomas formed themselves into a Presbytery and constituted the following members into a Baptist church:
