Brethren, Dunkers, Dunkards General Information The term Brethren identifies several Christian groups of common origin, at an earlier date frequently called "Dunkers," of which the Church of the Brethren is today the largest. The movement began in Germany in 1708 as part of the spiritual awakening called Pietism. In that year a small group led by Alexander Mack (1679 - 1735) baptized one another by immersion, facedown, three times in a flowing stream: this form of Baptism became a distinctive practice. Mack and his followers migrated to Pennsylvania from Germany in 1719. Since then, small groups have broken away from the main body, either because it seemed too liberal or not liberal enough. Among all Brethren, trine immersion is practiced and a pacifist witness maintained. The Church of the Brethren lists 161,824 members in 1,044 congregations (1986). The Brethren Church and the Old German Baptist Brethren are much smaller.

Notes from the White County Historical Society By Charlene Shields Notes from the White County Historical Society as they appear in "The Carmi Times." by "The Carmi Times" Permission to reprint granted to Cindy Birk Conley and the ILGenWeb by Barry Cleveland , editor, "The Carmi Times." The fascinating Dunkards Some years ago I was speaking at a Hon family reunion and unwittingly electrified my audience by making the statement that all the early Hons were Dunkards. Many of the listeners thought I said "drunkards." So their wrath was upon me. Dunkards were a Swiss/German pietistic sect much like the Mennonites, Moravians, etc. They were called Dunkards, or Dunkers, or Tunkersbecause they believed in baptism by dunking (immersion). They wore plain clothing, coats with standing collars for the men, plain bonnets and hoods for the women. Men were urged, but not required, to wear beards; they should not wear mustaches alone. Women should not wear jewelry. They were to avoid narcotics, including tobacco. They did not use instruments of music in the house of God. They observed the Lord's

DUNKARDS BOTTOM (MAHANIAM) One of the early settlements in the valley along the west bank of New River was Mahaniam, meaning "two camps", in what is now Pulaski County and now lies beneath the waters of Claytor Lake. The settlement was founded about 1745 by three Germans from a group, which had crossed the Atlantic seeking religious freedom and were called Sabbatarians and later became known as Dunkards. From this latter name came the identification of the settlement as Dunkards Bottom. It is reported that 900 acres of rich river bottomland was chosen and surveyed for the colony, which later had the only mill west of New River. However, many of the Dunkards became unhappy with their lot in the wilderness on the frontier of a new nation. They were said to be "odd" people who were very clannish and shunned by other settlers. In 1749 the Moravian missionaries noted that in the region of Dunkard's Bottom they found a "kind of white people who wore deer skins, lived by hunting, associated with the Indians and acted like savages." Once the Dunkard's got to America they changed their ways to fit the lifestyle of the American Frontier. John BUCHANAN, agent for Colonel PATTON's Wood's River Company and assistant surveyor of Augusta County, made his exploratory trip to the region in the fall of 1745. He found inhabitants already in the New River area. These inhabitants were German eccentrics of German Seventh Day Baptists from the Ephrata Society of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania and were called Dunkers Dunkard's. (Many people incorrectly refer to this sect of the Anabaptists as Dunkard's. The word "Dunker" was actually a anglicized corruption of the German Word "Tunker", which means "dipper" or immerserer referring to the mode of baptism practiced by this group.)

Church of Brethren; Dunkards (German: tunken , to dip) Formerly Conservative German Baptist Brethren Church , a Protestant sect established as a separate church at Schwarzenau, , by Alexander Mack, Pietist, and seven of his companions. This group were probably the first to receive trine (triple) immersion in the history of the Protestant Church. They differed from other Pietists in that they were not averse to Church organization and did not abandon ordinances which Christianity held necessary for salvation. Their doctrine, polity, and practise follow the same general line as the Quakers, Mennonites , and similar bodies, though they are entirely distinct from them. They were repressed by the state Churches of Germany , Holland, and Switzerland. Peter Becker settled in Germantown, Pennsylvania, , the rest of the Brethren following shortly afterwards. The Church of the Brethren is Orthodox Trinitarian, believing in baptism by trine forward immersion. The govenlment of the Church is almost Presbyterian. The power of discipline, including trial and excommunication, rests with the local congregation. They have three periodicals. In the United States in there were: 3,500 ministers; 1,036 churches; and 120,103 communicants. The members are most numerous in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, and Virginia. Foreign missionary work was carried on in
