Lollie inherited it from her mother, Sinie Ann McGill Young (1877-1963). Sinie must have obtained the Bible from the household of Frank and Nan Stephens McGill when they were killed in a car wreck in Columbus, GA, March, 1932. Nan was the youngest of the twelve children born to Alsey and Priscilla Stephens, and it was probably given to her prior to her mother’s death in 1895. Alsey must have obtained the Bible from his parents’ home in Heard Co., GA, around the time his mother, Mary Barrow Stephens, died in late1866. As the earliest entries appear to be the children’s births on page 698, chronologically ordered and in the same handwriting up through dates of 1811, it may be assumed this was the approximate time the Bible was first used by the family (publication date is 1806). It is interesting to note, however, the alternate spellings of “Stevens” and “Stephens,” though the penmanship is consistent throughout. Additional Comments: Stephen Stephens was the son of George and June Stephens, and he married Mary Barrow. Some descendants moved into Randolph Co., AL.
