    1. [TXBOWIE] 1881 Family Bible, Alexander/Farr/Lamp
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Alexander, Autrey, Beasley, Endsley, Wilborn/Welborn Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/GkB.2ACI/914 Message Board Post: Our Alexander family came to Bowie County in the 1800's from Madison County, Tenn. and then to Tarrant County, Texas. Our cousin has inherited a Bible copyrighted and printed in 1881, published by Walden & Stowe Publishers, Ginginnami, Chicago, St. Louis. We are attempting to locate family members to return the Bible to them. She said it was included in her mother's belongings when her mother died. Her mother was descended from the Alexander family, which came from Madison County, Tenn. and into Texas. Our gedfile is available at http://www.joautrey.com and some photos are available at: http://www.tribalpages.com/tribes/jautrey9 http://www.tribalpages.com/tribes/jjautrey She is attempting to find the family related in the Bible as the names are not in her family records and no one knows where the Bible came from other than from her mother. If you have any information, or the names are familiar to you, please contact me. Please be aware, we do not have *any" information other than what I have posted here.
