We are searching for the family Bible and record of Samuel and Eleanor (Wilson) Lindsay m.25 Sept.1790, of Lincoln Co NC. They lived there and raised a family of eight children, James, Nancy, Mary, William, Samuel jr., John Clark, Paul Gaddis, and Elizabeth. A few years after the father Samuel, died, in @1808, the mother Eleanor, and five children all went to Ohio, where son William was already located. The eldest son, James remained in NC (Cleveland Co.) and raised his family of children, married to his first wife, Isabela Wright. We think it likely that the Bible remaind with the eldest son in NC but so far have not been able to find it. Does anyone know of the location of this Lindsay Bible today? Ellie

I have in my possession a Bible dated 1825. On the inside cover is the name, Fletcher Fariz his book 1825, Nov. the 8 1825. There is a old tablet page with information on the William and Sarah Montgomery family, who lived in Montgomery County Ky and moved to Putnam County IN c. 1828. This Bible later belonged to their Daughter Elizabeth who married Enoch Leach. Anyone with information on these families contact me at pfoster@nctc.com Paul

The Bibles of my Parents, OLLIE MAY PRESLEY and ISAAC MARTIN PRESLEY, were lost in or near Louisville, KY about 1885-1999. The name of each was on the cover of her/his Bible and each Bible had a detailed family registery. If found, please notify me as I would love to have them in my possession.

JAMES YATES (son of JOSEPH YATES) born 1825 in KY, died 1911 in MO stated in his CW pension records his birth is recorded in the family bible. Checking with relatives, we have no idea where the bible is. Fred in MO

Sorry to create confusion. My mother bought the Lawrence Beall Smith Bible at an antique store in abt 1965. It is very old and I treasure it... but if I can find someone in that family who has adequate info to convince me that the claimed relationship is valid, I will let said person have it for the price my mother paid for it. For this reason I am not giving out any additional info at this time. I have spent time and money looking for any descendant of Lawrence Beall Smith. I have been to libraries, called funeral homes, sent for Soc Sec records, etc... all trails leading to dead-ends. The Family-Bible-L seemed a good place to make one more try. Elaine

I'm looking for a Carpenter Bible. It was in possession of Bird Ralph Carpenter (wife was Katie), then went to Zada Carpenter-Rudd. When she died, it went at an auction (or so we are told) 12 years ago. It supposedly has (according to an aunt who viewed the bible more than 40 years ago) our entire Carpenter lineage! Surnames in it are: Carpenter, Christman/Chrisman, Draper, Anderson, Harrison, Gardner, Lawrence, Chesebro, Murphy, and Eychner. And much more. Anyone? Betty Carpenter-McCulloch

Hi list, I haven't typed my bibles up yet, but I'm going to get there soon. Just wanted to let the new people know that they should check out the bibles each week on www.ebay.com There are several family bibles on the list today. Some nice ones. I just typed in (family bible) in the search box. Got 23 hits. Enjoy the hunt, Lou Ann Terry-Clugh, searching families of: Clugh, Eury-Ewry, Kantz, Lock, Morris, Nicholson, Terry. http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/c/l/u/Lou-A-Clugh/

I have recently come into possession of an old, very large Bible, that was located in the basement of an old house in Raleigh, NC. The family name is FELT, with death dates for 18 people, all named Felt except two (Nichols and Pitt) The earliest death date is for Louisa Felt who died Sept.4,1809 - and the latest record is for Charles Henry Felt, who died Dec.7, 1916. There are no lists of births or marriages and only two baptism records Pitt Felt and DeWitt Felt, both baptised on June 1, 1849. This Bible needs to go home. Ellie
