Probably Thomas County.

My mother-in-law was a lifelong resident of Thomas
County.  In her effects I have found a Bible page,
torn and in bad shape.  I studied it and searched the
census in efforts to find this family to no avail.


No SURNAME is witten on the page but it is probably MYRICK.   The handwriting is nearly illegible.
My best efforts are this:


Polley Ann was born July the 5, 1880   (This is
written at the top of the page in pencil;  years
after the entire page had been filled with the names
below in ink.)


Georgia Ann was born July the 5, 1860
Henry was born September the 25, 1861
------liser was born July the 15, 1865    (page torn)
[Elizabeth]

------ndrew was born  January the 15, 1867    (page torn)
[Andrew]

------nanca was born November the 7, 1868    (page torn)
[Nancy]

Uellernor (Eleanor?) was born October the 31, 1870

Gwinny (Ginny?)(Guinny?) L. (E?) was born July the 28, 1872
Alpattnea? (Altallnea?) (Alpracelnea?)  R. was born October the 27, 1874

Some Myricks and 
 Chastains intermarried.

I found on the 1870 Thomas Co. Census five of the
children with the same names and birthdates as shown
on the Bible page.

 Thomas Co. Census Page 1-137  DistrictWest of County Line

 MYRICK  Simon,  farmer    33
                  Martha                   37
                 Georgianne           10
                 Henry J.                    8
                 Eliza                         6
                 Andrew                     3
                 Nancy                        2
                 Charles                  6 mo
       
 On the Bible page I described below,  the names and dates match for:
 Georgia Anne, 
 Henry,
 Eliza (the Bible scribe spelled it Elizer), 
 Andrew 
 Nancy  (spelled Nancie).

Charles, on the census,  is not  shown on the Bible
page unless he is the Uellermore shown born in 1870, 
when Charles was born.

The last two names on the Bible page were born after
the above census, therefore,  I have not identified
them yet,
