Ketoctin Baptist Church
Ketoctin Baptist Church, also known as Short Hill Church, is a historic Baptist church located at Round Hill, Loudoun County, Virginia.
==History==
In 1752, the Philadelphia Baptist Association dispatched four missionaries to "Ketocton" (then in Fairfax County) and Mill Creek (then in Frederick County, from which Berkeley County split off in 1772 and became part of West Virginia in 1863) to bring them into fellowship with other Regular Baptist congregations.〔http://www.encyclopediavirginia.org/Baptists_in_Colonial_Virginia#start_entry〕〔Robert B. Semple, History of the Baptists in Virginia (1810), revised edition 1894 at http://www.landmarkbaptist.org/documents/History_of_the_Baptists_in_Virginia.pdf at p.229 of 362〕 On August 19, 1766, four Regular Baptist churches (Ketocton, Smith Creek Baptist, Mill Creek Baptist and Broad Run Baptist) disassociated from the Philadelphia Association and formed the Ketocton Association, which today includes nine historic churches.〔http://www.smithcreekbaptistchurch.com/Ketocton_Churches.html〕 In 1775, the association voted to support disestablishment of the Anglican church in Virginia. After the American Revolutionary War, at its 1797 annual meeting, the association recommended the gradual emancipation of slaves,〔http://pilgrimsandpatriots.com/?tag=baptist〕 which proved controversial within the denomination. The association's minutes (and a history) through 1808 are available through several open sources.〔William Fristoe, The History of the Ketocton Baptist Association, 1766-1808 (Staunton, Va.: William Gilman Lyford, 1808) available at http://books.google.com/books/about/The_History_of_the_Ketocton_Baptist_Asso.html?id=MmSgnQEACAAJ〕〔minutes at https://openlibrary.org/subjects/ketocton_baptist_association〕
Ketoctin, which lent its name to the group and which may derive from the same Native American word as the nearby Catoctin Mountains to the north, is part of one group along Route 7 en route to Winchester, Virginia. Another group clusters along what is now U.S. 211, in the Shenandoah valley including New Market, Virginia. Ketoctin pastors David Major (1722-1796) and John Gerrard (1720-1787) founded or help found several congregations in Fairfax, Frederick and Loudoun counties.〔http://www.cbc4me.org/articles/Church_Plant_Pastor/03-Major.pdf〕〔http://bradleyrymph.com/genealogy_gerrard-john.pdf〕
The association grew to 39 churches in 11 counties by 1820, when several churches split off to form the Columbia Baptist Association (for churches in or around the nation's capital).〔http://www.novahistory.org/Frying_Pan_Meetinghouse.htm〕 In the 1890s the Ketocton Association renamed itself the Primitive Baptist Association, without any significant change in doctrine.〔http://www.robertmackayclan.com/bethel/history.html〕
