I am doing research for the Missouri Baptist Convention, which is celebrating its 175th anniversary this year. My study has led me to the name of Ebenezer Rodgers as maybe the chief influence in the beginning of our convention. We now have 2,000 churches with a total of 600,000 members. The convention started with 150 churches, of which 50 were said to have been started by Ebenezer Rodgers. Does anyone have definitive information on him?
