I can't exactly answer that question, but I will say that since we share
the same line through the McNeil(l) clan that Rev. George McNeil came
over from Scotland as an ordained Presbyterian miniter, but converted to
Baptist and helped to found the Yadkin Baptist Association according the
J.W. Hook book. I am currently trying to find some documentation about
this. Also from that book, the majority of my particular line through
Jesse Franklin Eller was Baptist, but as some point converted, along
with the McNeil line of Wililam Heggie McNeil, husbdand of Mollie Evelyn
Eller who was Jesse's daughter, back to Presbyterian and our family,
which is now the Bradford stayed as Presbyterians ever since for the
most part. I don't know when the family switched from B. to P., and
that is something I would be interested in finding out. From what I can
tell about all lines of my family, mom and dad's side, except for the
Eller/McNeill, everyone has been Presbyterian for as far as I can tell
back to the 1700s. That is a good question and I'd be interested in the
answer as well.
