Dinah and Leannah baptized

This post is part of an ongoing project to record names I find in historical records of enslaved people of Greene County, Georgia

August 29, 1847 entry from the Penfield Baptist Church Minutes: 1839 – 1885, Penfield, Greene County, Georgia.

On Sabbath morning, August 29, 1847, the ordinance of baptism was administered, and the right hand of fellowship given to Sisters Morgan & Lansdell and to Brethren W. H. Clark, Wm. Bunn, G. C. Davis, G. Cornwell and Thos. Morgan. Two colored women, Dinah, (belonging to Mrs. Kellum) and Leannah (belonging to Bro. Greene) related their Christian experiences, were baptized and received the right hand of fellowship.
