Notes

Bound within the same volume is: "A history of the First Baptist Church, Brownwood, Texas", by Mrs. J. A. Cox and Committee (ca. 1940).

Historical context: Noah Turner Byars (1808-1888) was a pioneer Baptist preacher, who moved to Texas in 1835 from Georgia where he established a gunsmith and blacksmith shop at Washington-on-the-Brazos. In 1836, Sam Houston appointed Byars armorer and blacksmith of the Texas army. He also served as sergeant-at-arms to the Texas Senate from 1837 to 1841 and as armorer and blacksmith to the Indians. Byars was associate judge of Travis County from 1839 to 1841 and was elected for another two-year term but declined to serve because of his ordination in 1841 to the Baptist ministry. In 1848 Byars was appointed the first missionary of the Texas Baptist Convention. His mission field extended from the Brazos River to the Trinity and northwest to Palo Pinto and Young counties. It covered the territory of thirty present-day Texas counties. Byars was instrumental in founding five Baptist associations in Texas: the Trinity River Association in 1848, the West Fork (of the Trinity) Association in 1856, the Brazos River Association in 1858, the Pecan Valley Association in 1876, and the Hamilton County Association in 1877. He also founded more than sixty churches in Texas.
