The Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey published a transcription that was copied and checked by members of the Society on April 26, 1980 and published in Vol. 57 on pages 99-104.
Mount Olive Baptist Church, originally called The Schooley's Mountain Baptist Church, was founded prior to 1753. From its earliest beginnings to the post-Revolutionary period this congregation was part of the Morristown Baptist Church. The original log meeting house was erected on a site donated by James Heaton to serve four denominations. The Baptists used this building for 40 years; in 1795 the log structure was replaced. In the spring of 1854 the second building shared was sold and the Baptists and Presbyterians each built their own house of worship.
I have tried to note the discrepancies that were found between the inscriptions in the GMNJ manuscript and those in the Cox manuscript.
