Thanks to all who opened my eyes to my HANES-BATERSHALL question. It has never occured to me that Stephen may have been given this bible by a Hanes & he merely crossed out what they had written in. But still, that seems quite odd to me---why would a family give away their family bible??? Don't you all agree that there almost had to be a close connection between the families? I would certainly never give my family bible to just anyone! Ah well, another question in the continuing Decker mystery. Marilynn
