I have in my possession a family Bible that I believe has a Kentucky connection. It is the Bible of the John R. Poor family.

Litton Jr. of Jacksonville, Florida. I have a photocopy, from which I copied this information. The Bible was published 1832, so dates before that were recorded after the events. In fact, only two sets of handwriting appear in the record, and it is quite possible that it was copied from another record, or from dictation. The Bible was owned for years by the family of Rebecca Jane Litton Monk b 4 Jul 1834 Russell Co., VA. Canie thinks that the entries could have been made by a member of the Monk family or a member of the Statzer family, (Canie says that Rebecca Jane Litton Monk's second marriage was in 1869, to Elijah Statzer of Lee and Russell Co., VA. Her first husband, James Monk, b 25 Dec 1830 Russell Co. was killed in the Civil War.) Certain items in the record are questionable. 1)I have carefully checked my typed copy against the photocopy, but I cannot make out one name, that of Owens Bernt Monk. The middle name could be Beriah or Bernh, but definitely starts with a B. 2)Elijah Jam Monk is probably Elijah James Monk, but that's not what appears. 3)James Harvey Litton is thought by researchers to have had three wives. The first was Rebecca Jane Vanhook b 29 Feb 1790, d 18 Sep 1822. The second, listed in the above record as Mary Elizabeth Purcell, and followed in the record by a long ink-blot concealing another word, is thought by Canie Litton and by Clarence E. Shepard of Dayton, OH (an Elliott family researcher) to have been Mary Purdue Elliott b 1802 d 13 Aug 1834. The third, whose marriage is not listed in the above record, is said by Canie to have been Mary Wilson of Dante, VA. 4)William Korin Litton is thought (hoped?) to have married Nancy Ann Collins b 23 Apr 1829 d 4 Aug 1867, not Nancy Ann Elliott as stated in the above record. The significance of all this to Pike Co., KY is that James Harvey Litton, Sr. moved there from Russell County before 1850. He appears in the 1850 census, page 487-B, with wife Mary and the three youngest children listed above, John T., Margaret E., Augustus W. James Harvey Litton Sr. is listed in Pike Co.
