Samuel Hubbard's letters document the organization, in 1671, of the Seventh-day Baptist Church in Newport, R.I. Correspondents include fellow church members Joseph Clarke, William Hiscox, Stephen Mumford, John Thornton, John Rogers, and his daughter Ruth Burdick. Isaac Backus used Hubbard's manuscripts in preparation for his "A history of New England ..." v. 1, 1777. Backus' transcriptions and annotations refer to and amend this "History", (eg. p. 73, 151).
