Jersey Settlement Meeting House, also known as Jersey Baptist Church, is a historic church and meeting house located near Linwood, Davidson County, North Carolina. The Baptist congregation was founded around 1755 by settlers from New Jersey. Among them was Benjamin Merrill, a local leader in the Regulator movement from 1765 to 1771, who was captured and executed following the Battle of Alamance.[1]
The current Greek Revival church meeting house was built in 1842 near the Jersey Baptist Church Cemetery. It is a rectangular gable-front brick building, four bays long and two bays wide. A belfry was added in 1897-1899 and a portico in 1945.[2]
The meeting house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
