A. Pathuis, 'Het handschrift "Ommelands Eer" van Pater Franciscus Mijleman S.J., Missionaris der Ommelanden 1639-1667' in: Archief voor de geschiedenis van de Katholieke Kerk in Nederland, VII (1965), page 60, reports that a pre-Reformation baptismal font was still present in this church in the mid-17th century.
A communication from Pol Herman to BSI (e-mail of 26 March 2022) refers to Regnerus Steensma's article “Dit vat heft geven…, Middeleeuwse doopvonten in Groningen”, in which he writes that Franciscus Mijleman, around 1640, found old baptismal fonts still standing in churches. In Leermens, Middelstum, Huizinge, Uithuizermeeden and other villages. Mijleman mentions explicitly that the font at Uithuizermeeden was still standing in its original location inside the church. Steensma interprets this by suggesting that the fonts in the other churches were still present, but had been moved and were no longer used. [NB: we have no information on the whereabouts of the medieval font of this church].
