Early Baptisms of the First Presbyterian Church, Defiance, Ohio

Some of the earliest church records from the city of Defiance came from the Presbyterian Church in the city.  

These baptismal records were originally transcribed by Juliane Fisler Fishell and cover the years 1837 - 1847, with one in 1862, as well. This was at a time when Defiance was still a part of Williams County.

Dates for the baptisms were derived by using the pages referenced on the left side of the page which correspond to a pages in another church record book.

In the following chart, the date of baptism is first, then the name of the child and age, if available, and then the names of the parents.
