Issues:
Number of slaves who founded the church appears as 12 or 15 ("Freedom City" book).
Dictionary of Canadian Biography article on Washington Christian indicates a building was built in 1834 for the church, but other sources indicate a schoolhouse being rented.
There is an image of March Street location but the article of Baptist Bond Street Church indicates that building was built in 1848, after the timeline indicated for First Baptist Church. As I'm not sure what to make of this, I've removed the image of the building which may or may not have been a location where service occured.
