In 1525 Swiss Anabaptists broke with Zwingli.

1535 Anabaptists in Zurich were suppressed.

1537 Menno Simons became leader of the Dutch Anabaptists

1538 Efforts made to expell Anabaptists from England

1609 First English General Baptist Church formed in Holland

1611 Organization of First General Baptist Church in England

1638 The first Particular Baptist Church organized by Spilsbury

1638-39 Organization of the first Baptist church in America @ Providence RI by Roger Williams

1644 London Confession of 1644/ Organization of Association of London Particular Baptists.

------------------------------

But NO "Baptist" activity prior to Zwingli. Sounds like a product of the Reformation to me.
