The early history of this congregation as related by William G. Gardner (see the accessions
folder) is unclear. Apparently a number of congregations from the area around Hornby
Forks including Dryun, Jersey, Catlin, Mead's Creek, Campbell (then West Hill) and
Erwin had formed congregations which contributed members to the Hornby Church at its
formation between 1825 and 1838. In 1840 the Mead's Creek Baptist Church was set off
from Hornby as a separate congregation. The church originally belonged to the Steuben
Association but by 1847 had joined the Chemung River Baptist Association which met
in Hornby in 1860. After 1862 the Hornby church had a Sunday school.
Records of the Hornby Baptist Church (1860-1916) contain monthly covenant and annual
meeting minutes interspersed with membership lists which are revised periodically
between i860 and 1895. Minutes deal mainly with the condition of the church, the election
of trustees, church discipline, and procuring ministers. In the back of the volume
are minutes of the Chemung River Baptist Association in 1865 and the Program of the
67th Annual meeting held in 1909. Some entries are illegible.
