White, whose husband had owned the Bible at one time but had passed it on to a nephew who lived in Florida. She also enclosed a copy of a letter that came with the Bible, dated October the 16th, 1858, Ouachita Co., Arkansas, from Andrew Lee, brother of Jane Lee White, addressed to Jane, in which he gave his mother’s birth date as Feb. 3, 1779 [Lillis Canady, wife of Henry L. Lee], his [Andrew’s] birth date as November 25, 1802, and Jane [Lee] White’s birth date as January the 30th 1810. Mrs. Joann T.
