All rights reserved. http://usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://usgwarchives.net/la/lafiles.htm ********************************************** The following entries are found in the Leggett-Land Bible. Records from two Bibles were combined into one when the original Bible(s) were rebound in the mid 1900's. Each family were on separate "record sheets" so were easily sorted into the two family's records. These entries are transcribed here with blanks indicating indistinct or partial entries, either from faded ink, poor legibility or torn pages in the original. The original Bible belonged to Samuel Neill. LEGGETT BIBLE RECORDS BIRTHS _____ Neill daughter of Samul and Jane Neill was born Nov. 15, 1821.
