"An excerpt from the prologue to the earliest church record book of Ye Olde Yellow Meeting House recites the history of the congregation before it was formally organized as an independent church in 1766. it begins

'Giving an account of ye first settlement & progress of the Baptists at Crosswicks or Upper Freehold.

'The Holy Scripture (which is ye word of ye living go, & ye only certain rule of faith & practice) doth inform us, that ye memory of the just is blessed -- and, that the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. The design therefore of this following brief account of ye first settlement & progress of ye people call Baptists at Crosswicks or Upper Freehold, in ye eastern division of the Province of New Jersey; Is, (not only for the present use, but) to perpetuate their blessed memories to the future ages.'

In its earliest days the church's congregation, known variously by the names above, were members of the Baptist church at Middletown and, although they met together as a separate group as early 1700, they did not for an independent church until 1766 long after the present structure was built in 1737. They were first ministered to by Mr. John Burrows and then 'Diverse other Eminent & able Ministers from other parts' as the prologue tells us.

Land for their meetinghouse was deeded to this earliest congregation by Thomas & Rachel Saltar in 1720. Their son John [correction: John SALTAR was the brother, not the son, of this Thomas SALTAR] lies buried in the oldest marked grave in the cemetery, having died August 29, 1723. Elisha Lawrence, buried nearby in 1724, was one of the first church members. [note: Elisha Lawrence (d. 25 April 1724, aged 58.2.8) was the father-in-law of John SALTAR.]

It was during the ministry of John Coward that the present church structure was built. Coward was brought up in the Church of England, which may account for the high pulpit.

In 1766 the Church members were formally dismissed from the church in Middletown and soon thereafter ordained their first regular pastor, Rev. David Jones, who later became famous as a chaplain in the Revolution and later wars."
