MACON COUNTY, GA - BIBLES Reily Family ***************** Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://www.usgwarchives.net/ga/gafiles.htm *********************** This file was contributed for use in the USGenWeb Archives by: "Orville Reily, III" This is the transcription of copies of pages of an old Bible that I have. My understanding is that these pages were given to my Great Aunt Mary Gustavus Reily (Mrs. E. B. Moore), of Winnsboro, Louisiana, by her father, my Great Grandfather, John Boatner Reily, Sr.. John Boatner Reily, Sr. was the oldest child of Samuel Warburton Reily, Sr. and Mary Charlotte Boatner. I do not know who this Bible belonged to or if this Bible still exist. I do know that many old family letters and records were lost during Hurricane Camille in the 1960’s. I have heard stories that when the old home of Samuel Reily and Martha Nelson McDonald was torn down in the 1930’s some old records may have been lost. Some good news is--- I have a lead that an old Bible and a farm log book, that may have belonged to Samuel Reily and Martha Nelson McDonald, may still exist. First, I am trying to confirm the organ of the copies that I do have, and second, I have made contact with some relatives that may be able to lead me to an old Bible and farm log book. This Bible is very old. The swirl writing and the ink spots make some things hard to make out. My guess is that this Bible was that of my Great Great Grandfather Samuel Warburton Reily, Sr. or my Great Great Great Grandfather John Young Reily. There is a possibility that it could be that of my G-G-G-G Grandparents Samuel Reily and Martha Nelson McDonald. If I ever track this down I will let you know. I will transcribe the pages and list them as pages, but I do not know the original order the pages were in. There are four (4) Pages. * The pages are in two columns, but when sending-- they do not come out right, so I altered this by putting column two below column one. ___________________________________________________________________ ************************************************************* Page One (Left Side – Page One) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ John Y.
