Craig,

I'm also looking for early Beaver Dam records, but the current Elder with
the OOGB there only has records from about 1881 and later. You might want
to also try
the Pipe Creek COB in Carroll Co. which is only a few miles from Beaver Dam.
The
Pipe Creek congregation may be as old or older than Beaver Dam.
