The Historical Records Survey was crested in the winter of 1935-56 ‘ [
ss s neticn—wide Works Progress Administration project for the "discovery,
preservation and listing of basic materials for research in the history
of the United Stetes.”l Under the direction of Dr. Luther H. Evans, the
Survey undertook en extensive program for the inventory of state and
local archives, early American imprints, church archives, and collections
of manuscripts. Pursuant to the provisions of the Emergency Relief Act Q
passed June BO, l939, the existency of the Survey as e single netion—wide
project sponsored by WPA itself was terminated August Bl, 1959; and the
work of the Survey wes continued within the individual Stetcs by locally
sponsored projects operating within the national WPA Historical Records
Survey Program which continued undcr the direction of Dr. Evans until his' T
resignation and thc subsequent appointment of Sargent B. Child on March l, T
1940. T
The North Carolina Project of the national Historical Records Survey 3
was established February l, l936, with Dr. C. C. Crittenden, Secretary of  
the North Caroline Historical Commission, es Director. Until November T
1956 the Survey operated as an autonomous unit of thc Federal Writers' A
Project directed in North Csrolina by Edwin Bjorkmcn, Dr. Crittenden ‘ i
resigned as State Director June BO, 1937, and was succeeded by Dan Lacy, A
A who had previously served HS Assistant state Director. Mr. Lacy resigned
April 2, 1940, tc accept the position of Assistant to tho Director of
Historical Records Survey Projects in Washington, and was succeeded by ,
Colbert F. Crutchfield cs State Supervisor. The work of the North

l
T
E. The information appearing in this publication has been obtained l
chiefly by Survey workers through personal interviews with pastors T
and church clerks. It has been supplemented when possible by _
research in available printed and manuscript sources. Compute- i
tions of membership and dates of constitution of churches have been 1
obtained from printed minutes of this and other associations to  
which the particular church has belonged. l

1 RALEIGH ASSOCIATION E
` 1
Much of the history of the Raleigh Association for the first twenty- )
five years of its existence is unknown, as the earliest known minutes of
the association are for a session in 1850. Raleigh Association was organ-
ized in 1805 with 4 churches from Neuse Association,l namely: Wake Union,
Wake Cross Roads, Holly Springs, and Haywood°s Meeting House.2 No further I
reference is found concerning the growth of the Raleigh Association until
1811 when Neale Creek, Rocky Springs, Union, Cross Roads, Holly S,rings,
Cool Springs, Pleasant Grove, Bethel, Union, Mill Creek, Middle Branch,
Fellowship, Haywood*s Meeting House, Cedar Fork, New-Hope Mountain,
_ Liberty, Hepzibah, and Little Buffaloe were reported as members of the
association,} The assocration at this time covered Person, Granville, {
Nash, Orange, Wake, Durham, Cumberland, Chatham, Johnston, Lee, Sampson,  
Moore, and Harnett counties. Between 1811 and 1850 Rocky Springs, Pleasant
Springs, Mill Creek, Middle Creek, Fellowship, New—Hope Mountain, and
Little Buffaloe churches were dropped from the association, and Raleigh,
Mt. Pisgah, Cumberland Union, Piney Grove, Flat Rock, and Popular Springs 1
churches were received into it.4 The Bethel, Liberty, and Cross Roads {
churches listed by Benedict in 1811 are probably the Wake Bethel, Wake
Liberty, and Wake Cross Roads churches listed in 1850.5 Hepzibah Church,
which was not listed in 1850, had been a rember of the association since )
1811,6 but had not sent delegates to the associational meetings for some )
years prior to 1852.7 {
Since its organization in 1805 the Raleigh Association has increased
greatly in number of churches and in menmership, but has decreased in
territory to approximately one-twentieth of its original size. This de- ,
crease has been due go the formation from its territory of the Tar River 1
Association in 1850, the Central Association in 1860, the Mt. Zion ,
Association in 1869,lO the Little River Association in 1876,11 and the

At the annual meeting of Raleigh Association in l86O 5 churches

` action, the clerk was instructed to grant letters te all churches ask-
ing for them.L5 These churches, ht. Vernon, Raleigh, and New Hope, 1
1 united with churches from Tar River and Flat River associations and L
organized Central Association in the same year.l6  
Mt. Piegah, Berea, and Rose of Sharon churches were granted letters
of dismissal in l869.* Since they are listed in the minutes of the {
V seventh annual session of Mt. Zion Association hela in 1876, it is
assumed that they unitee to form this associmtien.*8
In 1875 Hector'e Creek, Holly Springs (Barnett county), Lillington,

by Raleigh Association in October preceding the first annual session of
Little River Association in November l3?6.é2 . 1
` The Raleigh Association at its annual meeting in l903 passed resolu-
tions which provided that due to the great number cf churches composing  
the association and the difficulty of assembling their delegates for
the annual meetings, it was advised that the association be divided and

were located in or near Johnston County were asked to meet at Selma I
Church on Friday before the fifth Sunday in November for organization
of a new association, Johnston.?} This action split the existing
Raleigh Association in half.24
Since its organization in 1805, although many new associations I
have been formed by its member churches, the membership of the associa-
tion has grown rapidly. The first available source of information on
its membership reports 962 members in 1811.25 By 1830 membership had
decreased to 763, but in 1840 it had increased to 1,681, in 1850 to' I
I 3,473, and in 1861 to 4,633. In 1870 memberenip had aeereeeea to 3,679 I
and in 1880 it had decreased to 2,458. In 1890 membership had again
increased to 4,712 and in 1900 to 5,382.‘ After a decrease in 1910 to
4,877 membership again rose in 1920 to 6,394, in 1930 to 8,903, and in
1938 to 10,895. 6 I
I
The organization of the Raleigh Association, like other associa- I
tions affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention, is simple. In I
1833 its working body consisted of not more than 6 members elected
annually from its constituent churches,27 but in 1898 the working body I
consisted of all ordained ministers of churches represented in the I
association and not more than 5 messengers elected annually from its `
constituent churches.28 The ministers and messengers meet in annual
session for worship and the transaction of business. In 1833 the
elected officers of the association were a moderator and a clerk.29‘ I
In 1898 the elected officers were a moderator, a clerk, a treasurer,
and an executive board.3O One person may, and generally does, serve
as both clerk and treasurer. In 1938 the elected officers included a _
vice—moderator and a historian in addition to the officers previously
mentioned.$l It is the duty of the moderator to preside at meetings, I
appoint committees, and perform such other duties as are required of I
presiding officers. The duty of the vice—moderator is to preside in °
the absence of the moderator. The clerk is to keep a record of the ‘
proceedings of the association and to see that the minutes are printed,
filed, and presented at the associational meeting for the following I
year. The treasurer has charge of all funds of the association, and

may pay them out only under the direction of the association. The duty
of the historian is to submit at each annual session a history of one
of the constituent churches of the association. The executive commit-
tee supervises the general affairs of the association and devotes it- h
self especially to the provision of adequate ministerial and missionary
service in the area of the association. Committees are usually appoint-
ed to encourage subscriptions to religious periodicals; to solicit sup-
port for missions and for various denominational institutions; to en-
courage attendance at denominational schools; to stimulate Sunday Schools-
and to select the date, place, and preacher for the next annual mooting.3é E
The records of the association are kept only in the form of printed‘ 1
minutes of the annual sessions which include lists of delegates, minutes,
and committee members; a record of proceedings; reports of committees; 8
financial reports; and statistical reports covering membership, Sunday 1
School, property, and finances of the constituent churches. {
