History is a bit murky, and some disagree. However, the most historically supportable answer is the Baptists started out as being part of the "Dissenters." Dissenters was not a denomination, but a number of groups (including the Puritans and Quakers) who came from the Church of England (Anglicans) in the 1500s and 1600s. They disagreed with certain aspects of theology and practice (thus "dissenting") of the Church of England.

Some argue that Baptists came from the Anabaptists (a movement that includes the Mennonites). The historic connection is weaker although it does seem as if Baptists were influenced by Anabaptists.
