The first settlers from New Hampshire were joined a few years later by a group of people from Eastham and Barnstable, Massachusetts. These included members of the Dunham, FitzRandolph, Smalley and Bonham families. About 1686 Hugh Dunn, Edmund Dunham, John Drake, John Smalley, Nicholas Bonham and John Fitz Randolph, were instrumental in forming the constituency of a new Piscataway Baptist church based on the observance of the seventh day (Saturday) rather than the first day (Sunday) as the Sabbath. Edmund Dunham, one of the founders of the Seventh Day Baptist Church in Piscataway, had served the church as a lay preacher. On 8 September 1705 he was ordained in Westerly, Rhode Island and became the first pastor of the Piscataway Seventh Day Baptist Church. He remained there until his death in 1733/4. The Sabbatarian Baptist Church constructed by the Piscataway congregation was located in New Market Township, New Jersey. [6] The membership list of the New Seventh-day Baptist church is of interest because these families intermarried during the next several generations. The list is given with brief comments on interrelationships.
