This source by Samuel C. Damon is used to certify ‘the infant daughter of Capt. and Mrs. Babcock was baptised with the name Ann Eliza’. With the arrival of missionaries happening decades prior to the date of this source, the assumption can be made that the infant child of a Captain is in fact a child of missionary background, showing just how the missionaries settled into Hawaii and adapted their own traditions of baptism into the Hawaiian nation. This suggests that baptism certificates and baptism all together became a norm, therefore showing how Hawaii began to accommodate to the cultures of the missionaries rather than the culture of the natives.
