Jersey City - Our Living Legacy |

My great-great-grandfather, the Reverend William John Gooding, visited (by request) the Baptist Church in Jersey City, arriving from England in New York on May 23, 1846. I quote from his In Memoriam, published in 1884: "On landing in New York he received an invitation from the Baptist Church in Jersey City; but here his stay was brief, as the people there wanted him to make some additions to the doctrines he had preached. This, he said, he could not, dared not do; for his business was ... unflinchingly to proclaim the one revealed and received from Heaven."
