There is a lady in Augusta that has possession of John Lewis’ 1829 Bible. It has a TON of info in it. This person has never let anyone examine the Bible or photograph it. Many years ago an abstract she did was published in several periodicals and that is what I have had to work off of. I just got off the phone with the lady and she has given me permission to come to her house tomorrow to photograph the Bible! I explained to her that the abstract didn’t include the publication information for the Bible, I couldn’t see how the names were written in relation to each other (this is important because he had 4 wives and 15 children), and I couldn’t see the handwriting, was there more than one writer? In exchange, I am going to do some research for her in the early coroner records when I am at the courthouse today ☺ Michele
