Abstract:

The Baptists represent the oldest congregation to be found in Tarboro. Dating back to 1819, the Baptist Church split in 1829 and was carried as two separate churches, First Baptist and the Primitive Baptist Church. Episcopalians entered the scene in 1833 and in 1858 constructed a fine Gothic Revival building with William Percival as architect. Active since 1760, Methodists built their house of worship in 1855. this structure burned in 1915.
