Scope and Contents:

The Mount Pleasant Baptist Church was established in Franklin County, Ill., near Brownings' Hill (sometimes called Springs Settlement). This small volume, of which the Library has a 70-page transcript, contains records for the church from 1829 to 1865. The first entries in the volume were apparently copied from other records about 1841.

The transcript was made by H. L. Walker in 1944 from the original church record book then in the possession of W. R. Browning of Burton, Ill.
