Nancy Margaret		       Oct 2, 1869	       Dec 25, 1892

     It is unknown who has possession of this family Bible, but probably
descendants of William Garret.  His second daughter, Ida Jane Morris, gave
the information to her daughter, Jimmie Norton Morgan (Mrs. Charles). 
Jimmie had a son by the name of William J. Morgan, who in 1980 was on the
staff of the University of Tennessee (Knoxville).

	This Bible in the possession of Sherman Gilbert Morris, Jr. 
of Tampa, FL.

Just a note:  Aziel Eunice and David Samuel are both still living as of
this date.


**  The asterisk is on the date of marriage of John C. Morris and 
Mary Texas Brice.  Their marriage year, according to Walker Co 
marriage records, was 1892, not 1893.  Since Mary got the Bible
in 1899, I'm sure she had to go back a few years to catch up, but of
course, 1893 is what she wrote, incorrectly.
