Bible of John Compton Record of John Compton's Family as found in Bible now in possession of Sarah Browder, The Woodlands, TX. Pages were given me about 40 years ago by an elderly aunt. The Bible was in shreds so I had it photocopied to preserve. - Sarah Browder BIRTH RECORDS NAME DATE John Compton Feb. 28th 1747 Elizabeth Compton(his wife) no birth date Phillip Briscoe Compton April 27th 1772 Eleanor Williamson Compton Sept 4th 1774 Alexander Compton July 10th 1777 John Compton Jr June 20th 1779 Leonard Briscoe Compton Sept 30th 1781 Samuel Compton Feb 2nd 1789 DEATH RECORDS DATE John Compton(Sr,) Jan 10th 1803 Elizabeth Compton Nov 4th 1790 Philip B Compton no date given Eleanor W Compton (wife of Jeremiah Crabb) Dec 26th 1851 John Compton Sept 18th 1855 Leonard B Compton Feb 5th 1841 Samuel Compton June 1st 1826 We do not know where they died but they were all born Charles Co,MD. I know Eleanor W Compton Crabb died in Henry Co,KY and that Philip B(riscoe)Compton died in Ky. The rest I am not sure of. Either father John Compton or son John (maybe both) were in Ky prior to 1800.
