Calendar of 175 Documents relating to the Particular Baptist Fund, 1767-1811, belonging to the Collections of the Congregational Library, London, MSS. II. a. 10
This collection of letters was originally in the possession of the Baptist minister John Rippon, many having his own handwritten notes on them. After his death, they were taken from his study by Joshua Wilson. After his death, they were donated by his wife to the Congregational Library in 1876. The letters in the collection are addressed to various men on the Particular Baptist Fund Committee, including Rippon, Thomas Flight, John Robinson, Samuel Stennett, William Button, James Smith of Islington, William Taylor (hosier of Newgate Street), and Henry Keene of Walworth. Some of the letters have been transcribed and appear on this site under "Baptist Letters." They can be accessed by clicking on the letter.

Nos. 31-40. Here are 10 letters from Benjamin Hartley and Sandys and the church at Northampton concerning their applications for money from the Fund, mainly addressed to John Robinson, the stationer. Also a letter from William Clarke about possibly taking on the boys, and a letter from the church to Joseph Flight. Complete transcriptions of these letters can also be found on this site under "Sandys, John," and "Hartley, Benjamin," in "Baptist Letters."
Sandys and Hartley were from the Tottlebank church in Lancashire. According to the Church Book, a Joseph Hartley of Bouth, a yeoman, was a trustee of the church in 1766 and 1769. A John Hartley also signed the church book for 16 January 1765 and 12 April 1769, along with a Robert Hartley (apparently John’s father) and an Isaac Hartley--one of these men was most likely the father of the Benjamin Hartley above. A Myles Sandys also signed on those days, possibly the father of John Sandys above. He had been baptized and received into the church on 8 July 1748 (f. 48). Due to the fact that the church had no settled minister between 1770 and ‘80, there are virtually no church records from those years, and the story of young Sandys and Hartley does not appear there. When Thomas Harbottle officially became pastor in 1783, he drew up a church doctrinal statement and code of conduct, signed by John Hartley and Myles Sandys (f. 98). Joseph Hartley was dismissed to another Baptist church in 1784 (f. 99). Harbottle remained pastor until his death in 1824. See Church Book (Angus Library, Regent’s Park College, Oxford), f. 71; 74; 75. More on Hartley and Sandys can be found in the seven letters by John Collett Ryland belonging to MS. II. c. 5, Congregational Library. Transcriptions of these letters can be found under "Ryland, J.C." in "Baptist Letters" on this site.

Ryland’s hand on the back is written: “Benjamin Hartley is 24 y.rs of age member of Church has Exercised from Time to Time on a Portion of Scripture at Northampton” --Ryland is apparently wrong about Hartley’s age, for the document records him as 26 at the time of the request.].
