Dovey Mae Phillips Gray was my “Aunt Dovey”, and my Dad’s sister. She was a daughter of Asberry Phillips and Araminta Lucretia Lewis. Because all the names recorded are predominantly Lewis’, I suspect Aunt Dovey obtained the Bible from her mother, Minta Lewis Phillips, and that Minta obtained it from her mother, Harriett M. Veasey Lewis. The cover of the old Bible was completely missing, and the rest quite old. It was wrapped in newspaper, and tied with twine. The section of the Bible containing births, deaths, etc., appears to have been written with a quill pen. In December of 1985, Mary sent me copies of the Bible pages along with her notes. I have recorded the names from the four pages as best I can. As you will note, the first names written are that of Elijah H. Lewis and Harriett Veasey Lewis, Aunt Dovey’s grandparents - and my great grandparents. Rodric M. Phillips, Sr. PAGE 1 OF 4 Elijah H. Lewis was born August the 14th, 1823 Harriett M.
