    2. Joanne Scobee Morgan
    3. disclaimer... I don't guarantee this information to be true... but I'm transcribing out of a book called Kentucky Records by Ardery, which I would assume would be correct. If you find any errors, please don't shoot the messenger. I'm just trying to be helpful. <grin>. Hope some of you can get something good from this. I have NO other information than what I am transcribing right here... and as far as I know, these are not my relatives. I doubt that the owner of this bible is still living... this book was written in the 1920's, but I'm typing what it says. I will put all names in upper case to make this easy to scan for those you are interested in. (this record from John Boggs bible, owned by Mrs. Louise T. Simmons, Danville, KY.)
