Can anyone tell me when the Baptist came to be a separate group by name?
Was it before the restoration movement or during?
Does anyone know just who gets the credit for starting this group?
What is the history on the Baptist?

Even earlier.  It was founded by John the Baptist around 26 AD.

If John was already a Baptist, it had to have been before that!  Bag over head

I thought John the Baptist was actually performing a mikveh- a ritual bath that Jews still practice today?

None of these answers come to the first question. When did the Baptists become known as Baptists by name - that name which is commonly used today?

I always assumed he was called the Baptist because of all the baptisms he did. However, we could say he was the first Baptist.

J.M. Carroll, born January 8, 1858 and died January 10, 1931, wrote a short book titled The Trail of Blood. It is about the origin of Baptists. I have no idea how accurate it is, but you can find it online and print it out as I did; it's only 46 pages. I've seen and once had a copy of it--so I know it's still printed. You might be able to find or order a copy in a Christian store. Carroll was more than 70-years-old when he wrote it and must have died shortly after writing it since he was 73 when he died.

In the book, there is a quote from Sir Isaac Newton: "The Baptists are the only known body of Christians that have never symbolized with Rome." That means that Baptists were never a part of the Roman Catholic Church and formed completely separate from that religion. That is why I refuse to call myself a "Protestant", which refers to those religions (all except Baptist) who were once a part of the RCC and left and formed a new religion.

I just printed it today and haven't had time to read but I will. I have no idea if he gives the actual date of when Baptists began, but it's something I would like to know.

Some other groups that evolved out of Baptists and Presbyterians also have churches that believe in successionism/landmarkism.

I don't believe it.  Nothing like that could ever evolve out of Presbyterianism.  I mean, we all know the true Church of Christ was dropped down from Heaven on the day of Pentecost looking exactly like she looks now, right? Alien
