List of approximately 625 members
of Shiloh Baptist Church in 1854-1856

The following list of names is based on our best interpretation of handwritten membership rolls from the 1854-1856 time period. All of these individuals were either enslaved or free blacks living in the Fredericksburg, Virginia, area.

Keep in mind that the spelling of some names changed over time. We have reproduced here the names as best we can interpret them from 1854-1856 membership roll. Some of the handwriting is hard to read. Styles of cursive writing have changed over the years. So some of it is hard to interpret.

The members listed below are organized alphabetically by last name.

Additional information about individuals is included when available to us.

He often functioned as an informal minister and preacher in the Fredericksburg area prior to the Civil War. He had also worked for a time as a waiter at the Exchange Hotel in Richmond and as a dray man in Fredericksburg. During the Civil War, he was "pressed into service" by General Irvin McDowell of the Federal Army and became his guide for a while. During the Civil War, George Dixon resided for a time in Washington, D.C., where he was ordained in 1865 at 19th Street Baptist Church, after which he returned to Fredericksburg and became Shiloh's very active and beloved pastor. He was known as a a gifted orator and organizer. He resigned as Shiloh's pastor in 1878, after which he pastored a variety of churches in Spotsylvania and Caroline counties, while simultaneously maintaining some ties with the Shiloh congregation. He died at his daughter's home in Philadelphia, but his body was returned to Fredericksburg for burial in Shiloh's cemetery.
