Bugs

The second citation shows the number 1. This is incorrect. Someone will need to investigate to what's going on as time allows.--IPBiographer (talk) 15:56, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

Three of the external links are broken. I just fixed one. The other two will need researching or removal if the text isn't around any more. IPBiographer (talk) 03:23, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

This sounds more like a college paper than an encyclopedic article on Backus. Please make it more systematic and concise. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.27.7.83 (talk • contribs) 17:32, 2 June 2006 (UTC).

--Polylerus 19:24, 17 July 2006 (UTC) I have done an initial revamping of this article to make it sound more encyclopedic and have removed any copyright violations.

Hrm. Delegate to the Continental Congress and a Massachusetts congress, helped found Brown...I'll buy off on him as notable. —C.Fred (talk) 22:28, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

I am from First Baptist in North Middleboro and we recently celebrated out 250th anniversary. Does anyone know where the 1751 number as beginning of the church comes from?

Other Accomplishments

Backus was the agent for the (Baptist) Warren Association. In this highly significant role, he lobbied for the separation of church and state in Massachusetts and the new nation. He also was a trustee of a fledgling fund for support Baptist ministry students. Lastly, he wrote many pamphlets and an early history of the Baptist denomination. Good sources are the yearly Warren Association Minutes and works by William G. McLoughlin. --IPBiographer (talk) 15:46, 2 September 2013 (UTC)
