The Free Presbyterian Synod, consisting, in 1861, of 41 ministers and 4,000 members, had previously separated from the New School Presbyterian denomination, but was reunited and absorbed after the outbreak of the recent war.
17. The Independent Presbyterian Church in South and North Carolina consisted, in 1861, of 4 ministers and about 1,000 members.
18. Another denomination of Presbyterians remains to be noticed. It is called the "Cumberland Presbyterians" and first appeared in Kentucky in the year 1800. In 1829, there were four synods and the first General Assembly of the denomination was held. During the recent war the Southern churches were not reported in the Assembly, and there are no complete statistics of that period.
The numbers of the denomination have been stated as follows:
| Synods. | Presby. | Min. | Conversions. | |
| 1822 | 1 | — | 46 | 2,718 |
| 1826 | 1 | — | 80 | 3,305 |
| 1827 | 1 | — | 114 | 4,006 |
| 1833 | 6 | 32 | — | 5,977 |
| 1843 | 13 | 57 | — | — |
| Ministers. | Churches. | Members. | |
| 1860 | 927 | 1,188 | 84,249 |
| 1867 | 1,000 | estimated 100,000 | |
| 1870 | 1,116 | — | 87,727 |
The average annual increase in 55 years, from 1812 to 1867, has been 1,819.
19. Another large class of denominations is known by the name of "Baptists." They are divided into ten separate sects: Baptists; Free-Will Baptists; Seventh-Day Baptists; German Baptists or Brethren; German Seventh-Day Baptists; Free Communion Baptists; Old School Baptists; Six-Principle Baptists; River Brethren; Disciples of Christ, or Campbellites.
An estimate of the numbers of the regular Baptists at different periods, made by themselves, presents the following results:
| Ministers. | Churches. | Communicants. | |
| 1842 | 6,000 | 9,000 | 750,000 |
| 1859 | 7,150 | 11,606 | 925,000 |

| 1863 | 7,952 | 12,551 | 1,039,400 |
| 1865 | 7,867 | 12,702 | 1,040,303 |
| 1866 | — | 12,675 | 1,043,641 |
| 1868 | 8,346 | 12,955 | 1,094,806 |
