I have recently found two family Bibles: Bacon and Gregory. Both of these are my direct ancestors. There are many names in the Bibles that I don't recognize. Was wondering if you could take a look at the names and dates and see if any of them look familiar to any of you. Unfortunately, with Bibles, there aren't always counties and states. I'll enter the locations as I know them, but most I don't know. I do know that the Bacons and Gregorys primarily lived in Southside VA from the mid 1700s to the mid 1800s to include Dinwiddie, Nottoway, Charlotte, Lunenburg and Mecklenburg, Virginia, as well as Granville, NC. The children who were born in NC, had all moved back to Lunenburg, Charlotte and Nottoway by the times they got married. I believe they were born in NC but were raised, married and died in VA. Here's what I've got: Gregory Bible: Herbert Gregory born:3 Apr 1777, Effington, Dinwiddie County died: 2 Oct 1821 married: 16 June 1803 Lucy Osborne THWEAT born: ? died: 17 Sep 1824 Children of Herbert GREGORY and Mary Osborne THWEAT: William Osborne GREGORY born: 17 Mar 1804, "Elm Wood", Granville Co., NC died:? married: 12 Oct 1826 Mary Baskerville ALEXANDER born:?, Mecklenburg, VA died:?
