OBSERVATIONS ON MAYO, &c3
N. B. According to the note at the foot of the
preceding page, the accounts from Mayo Affociation
have not come to hand. But the Compiler how-
ever can inform the reader, that the churches com-
pofing this affociation are partly in North Carolina,
and partly in Virginia. Thofe in Virginia, are in
the counties of tienry, Patrick, and Pittfylvania,
and are in number, the ompiler thinks, about feven
which, if added to the others, amount to two hun-
dred and ninety four churches in the whole ftate.
Admitting the average number in the churches, the
fame as that of Strawberry, the mother affociation,
the whole number of members will be five hundred
and four; which added to thirty thousand five hun-
dred and forty eight, make the total amount of Bap-
tifts in Virginia thirty one thousand and fifty two.
Asplund's Regifter for 1791, foon after the great re-
vival, makes the number of Baptists twenty thou-
fand four hundred and thirty nine, in Virginia. The
increase in nineteen years is more than fifty per
cent. During this period, it has been fuppofed,
that, more than one fourth of the Baptifts of Virgi-
nia have moved to Kentucky and other parts of the
western country.
