determining the structure and composition of a watershed and its biotic communities. In this. diagram (Figure 8), the strength of influence on the watershed is represented in two ways: the. relative size of the arrows, and the level of control indicated at the right side of the diagram. As a result of different combinations of these formative processes, different types of watersheds. are created (Figure 9).
Baptist Churches were established in the American colonies from the mid-17th century. In 1639, Roger Williams founded a church on Baptist principles in Providence, Rhode Island, and this is usually regarded as the beginning of American Baptist history.
Williams soon experienced a spiritual call to join the Puritan migration to the Massachusetts Bay Colony in North America. Having recently married Mary Barnard, a maid in the Masham household, Williams set out with his new wife to cross the ocean in late 1630.

As a Separatist, Williams sought a complete break with the Church of England. He was disappointed to find that the Puritans of Massachusetts Bay Colony did not favor a total severance of ties. Williams soon left Boston over these differences, accepting a position as a minister in Salem.
