I have looked at this Bible several times and some of the entries are faded. We have finally figured out that Carl Wayne Pearson was born August 7 , 1843 should be Caroline Pearson was born Aug 7, 1843 We know that this was Caroline's birthday, and it don't know why or how I misread it. Sue P. Carpenter, submitter of A. J. Pearson Bible. Would you be able to get it changed for me? Thanks. Sue P.
