Regarding the confession, I've been doing some studying on the Baptist Faith and Message and it appears to have come from the New Hampshire confession. I don't know what came before that one.
I assume you are referring to the 1689 LBC, the resorce I have states:
The 1689 London Baptist Confession comes principally from four sources:
A. The Westminster Confession of Faith, 1646.
B. The Savoy Declaration of Faith and Order, 1658.
C. The First London Baptist Confession (1644).
D. The work of William Collins and Nehemiah Coxe.
Of the 160 paragraphs which make up the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith, 146 are directly derived from the Savoy declaration, eight are derived from the 1644 Confession and six from the editorial work Collins and Coxe.
