Jacksonville, Florida, 1914-1956
[400/600]
A fascinating and important church history. The Bethel Church of Jacksonville, Florida was
founded in 1838 with an entire congregation of less than ten people, two of whom were slaves
of the deacon Rev. J. Jaudon. The directory can serve as a valuable prime resource for genealogi-
cal purposes for the descendants of Jacksonville’s early Baptists.
