First of all ROGER WILLIAMS , my 10th GGF started the first Baptist church and was the first Baptist minister in the country. Obadiah came and was part of William's church and John Clarke didn't start his church until after a DECADE later.

Even though we aren't Baptists I can tell you that the vast majority of us Hatfields (the ones from Nova Scotia that descend from him) that I know in my immediate family that are living and who are descended from him love Christ Jesus, and thats just our family. There have to be perhaps a few tens of thousands of living Americans descended from this man. If they are also following this man's example then his impact has been huge indeed!<BR/><BR/>blessings,<BR/>Peter Tong (whos mother is a Hatfield)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32060719.post-18382813695548023072006-11-29T22:48:00.000-05:002006-11-29T22:48:00.000-05:00Thank you God for those that were martyrs in years...Thank you God for those that were martyrs in years gone by and those that are today on the mission field.
