The history of the Baptists in Fredericton dates back to about the beginning of the 19th century. In 1792, the first baptism (immersion) took place here, the first candidates being 2 or 3 colored persons and the administrator on David GEORGE, a colored preacher from Shelburne, N.S. who had received a licence from the Lt. Gov. to preach to the people. Ten years later, six persons were baptized in the river by Elde Theodore S. HARDING who with Elder Elijah ESTABROOKS are said to have preached on that day in the Play House, Waterloo Row. In 1813 Jarvis RING, William WILMOT, father of Judge Wilmot, Amasa COY, H. Alline HARTT and others began to build a meeting house for the Baptists in Fredericton which was completed and occupied in the following spring. It stood on the north side of King Street, below Regent. The church was organized on 1st Jan. by Elder E. Estabrooks and consisted at first of only 13 persons, who met for the purpose at the residence of Jarvis Ring. The successive pastors of the Fredericton Baptost Church, with the dates of their induction are as follows: Elijah ESTABROOKS, 1814; T.S. HARDING, 1820; Charles TUPPER, 1825; David HARRIS, 1826; Robert DAVIS, 1830; Fred K.W. MILES, 1834; Ingraham E. BILL, 1840; William HALL, 1843; Samuel ELDER, 1845; J.D. CASWELL, 1853; George SEELY, 1855; H.P. GUILFORD, 1857; J.C. HURD, M.D., 1860; Chas. SPURDEN, 1867; T.H. PORTER, 1870; A.F. STEVENS, 1878; F.D. CRAWLEY, 1880; J.D. FREEMAN, 1894. (see original)

H.F.G. Woodbridge Papers

If you are interested in any of these files then please contact the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick.

“Captain Frederick George Woodbridge (1877-1961) was born in Glasgow, Scotland, and at an early age moved to Fredericton with his family.  He joined the Canadian militia (71st York Regiment) in 1896, and enlisted for foreign service in 1914 as a Captain.  He served overseas during World War I with the 55th and 26th Battalions of the 71st; was wounded in 1916; subsequently served as a messing officer in England; was invalided to Canada in 1918; and served as a paymaster in Saint John.  He studied civil engineering at U.N.B. and dentistry at Harvard University.

When he returned to Fredericton he settled at “Uplands”, as his estate in the Forest Hill area was called.

Woodbridge has been called “one of Fredericton’s best known and colorful residents”.  He had a wide variety of interests including flight and the development of gliders; a sight-seeing steamboat service on the St. John River; and writing poetry. 

His home attracted a great deal of attention for he decorated outbuildings with mosaics made from colored sea shells.

For further information on Woodbridge, see MS2/144 for a paper delivered by him the York-Sunbury Historical Society in 1934.  Included is a clipping containing biographical data.

The Woodbridge Collection is very diverse, and dates from 1900 to 1955.  A large part of it is comprised of military material, which includes Woodbridge’s commissions and certificates, military correspondence and official forms, ledgers, returns and schedules.  Also in the collection are items, which reflect aspects of Woodbridge’s personal life:  correspondence, poetry, greeting cards, programmes, photographs, clippings, and maps.  The series measures 35 centimeters.

Photographs, which were among the Woodbridge Papers, are described in this series and have been transferred to the Photograph Section.  The researcher should also see the H.F.G. Woodbridge Photograph Collection (P32).”
