Dunkard
Group

Dayton
,
Ohio.
" This
photograph
shows
a
group
of
three
people
,
wearing
the
traditional
Dunkard
clothing
.
Men
usually
wear
a
long
,
black
coat
, with a
flat-brimmed
hat
and '
barn
door
pants
' that
button
up
the
side
, as
well
as
plain-toed
(Congress)
boots
.
Women
traditionally
wear
a
grayish
brown
dress
with a
shawl
,
apron
and
bonnet
.
Old
German
Baptist
Brethren
(OGBB)
descend
from a
pietist
movement
in
Schwarzenau
,
Germany
, in
1708
,
when
Alexander
Mack
founded
a
fellowship
with
seven
other
believers
. They are
one
of
several
Brethren
groups
that
trace
themselves
to that
original
founding
body
. These
emerged
from the
German
Reformed
and
Lutheran
Churches
, and are
historically
known
as
German
Baptists
rather
than
English
Baptists
.
Other
names
by
which
they are
sometimes
identified
are
Dunkers
,
Dunkards
,
Tunkers
, and
Täufer
,
all
relating
to their
practice
of
baptism
by
immersion
. They are
part
of the
post-reformation
Anabaptists
(which
include
,
among
others
, the
Amish
and
Mennonites)
,
who
rejected
baptism
of
infants
as a
biblically
valid
form
of
baptism
.
Because
of
persecution
,
many
Brethren
emigrated
to
America
with the
greatest
influx
being
in the
1719
and
1729
. As of
2008
,
almost
54%
of the
members
live
in
Ohio
and
Indiana
.
