The Bible first belonged to Etta Mae Milstead Little who entered most of the entries in her own handwriting. There are recordings of Births and Deaths in this Bible. However, there are no marriages listed on the entry pages in this Bible. After Aunt Etta's death, her sister-in-law Ina Rector Milstead recorded some deaths in her handwriting. The “*”is used by this submitter to indicate entries made by Ina Rector Milstead. I can attest to both ladies' handwriting on these pages. All the “M”s listed after the birth names stand for the surname “Milstead”. Aunt Ett did not follow through writing the surname out. Names below with a “+” are persons listed on the Bible entry pages. For the persons listed in this Bible I will give full names and added information, including some marriage information. This information is from either personal knowledge or from my own research. +Milton Lafayette Milstead and +Martha Selena Clarissa Echerd married 14 Oct 1875 in Alexander Co NC by J.C. Bell. Martha used the name “Lenie”. Children of Milton Lafayette Milstead and Martha Selena Clarissa Echerd Milstead including spouses: +Zebulon Vance Milstead and Celia Stafford married 06 July 1899. +Mollie's Christian name was Mary Frances Milstead, but always used the name “Mollie”. Mollie married 1st Ed Stafford, aka William L. Stafford, but he always used the name “Ed”. They married 25 Feb 1900 in Alexander Co NC and divorced ca 1902. One child +Ollie Mae Stafford was born of this union on 19 Jan 1901 in Alexander Co NC. This submitter does not have Ed and Mollie's divorce record. Should someone have this information to share, please pass it on to me. Thank you. Mollie married 2nd William W. Stine, ca 1910. They divorced and Mollie changed the surname spelling to STYNE. Again, this submitter would appreciate a divorce record, this time for Mollie and William. Mollie and William had one child William Milton Styne born 18 June 1911. Mollie is the submitter's Great Grandmother. +Sidney W. Milstead married Mary Aletha “Leathie” Little 06 June 1907 in Alexander Co NC. +William Culby Milstead died when a toddler. +Robert Edgar Milstead whose name can be found in records as: Robert E., Ed, Robert Ed, Edward, and R. E. Milstead. I think I remember Aunt Ett calling him Ed. Robert E. married Candace Roxan Little 06 Sept 1906. Robert E. died 05 Dec 1956 in Concord, Cabarrus Co NC. +Larence E. Milstead, aka Lawrence E. died when a child. +J. Dawson Milstead, aka: Jarl Dawson, John D., John David, J. David, J. Dave, David J., Dave J., and recently I found his name as John Davidson Milstead. Aunt Ett called him Dave. Dave married Nena StClair 24 Dec 1915. +Etta Mae Milstead, aka Ett, married +Solomon Little 09 Mar 1913 in Alexander Co NC. Solomon's Christian name was Daniel Solomon Little. He was called Sol. They had only one child +Lovie Evelyn Little who is listed as Evylen and Evylean Little in the Bible record. This baby died of “SIDS” when a couple weeks old. This Bible and it's records belonged to this Etta Mae Milstead Little. Aunt Ett's death is recorded in her Bible by my Aunt Ina Rector Milstead as 10 Oct 1939, HOWEVER, Aunt Ett died 10 Oct 1964 in Alexander Co NC. Aunt Ett helped rear Ollie Stafford Hooker's children in Belmont, Gaston Co NC. Ollie is this submitter's grandmother. +Charles Franklin Milstead, called Charlie, married Nora Mary Herman 21 June 1922. Charlie died 16 May 1985 in Hickory, Catawba Co NC. +Bill Milton L. Milstead, his Christian name is William L. Milstead. This Bible record is the only place I have seen Uncle Bill's name listed as “Milton”. I suspect, with no proof, that the “L” stands for “Lafayette”, his father's middle name, but I have only seen the name “Leroy” used. Uncle Bill and Ina B. Rector were married 10 July 1924. No children were born of this union. It is this Ina Rector Milstead who made entries into Aunt Ett's Bible after Aunt Ett died. Ina Rector Milstead died in 1987. There is another child of Milton and Martha S. Milstead who is not listed in Aunt Ett's Bible. His name was Billy Baxter Milstead as stated in his Grandmother Anna Watts Echerd's “My Book”. I think I remember he was born before Uncle Bill and is buried in the Three Forks Baptist Church Cemetery in Taylorsville, Alexander Co NC near where Aunt Ett, Uncle Sol and their daughter Lovie Evelyn Little are buried. I could be getting Billy Baxter Milstead and William C. Milstead confused. I do believe these two children are not the same person, but I do not have any proof at this point. _________________________________________________________________________________ Others listed in Aunt Ett's Bible who are not children of Milton L. Milstead and Martha Selena Clarissa Echerd are the following: +Evylen/Evylene Little, see Etta Mae Milstead +Solomon Little, see Etta Mae Milstead +Paul Frazier whose Christian name is Paul Jennins Frazier married Aunt Ett's great niece Pattie Martha Hooker, please note that Pattie is her real name not Patricia, the daughter of Ollie Mae Stafford and George Riley Hooker on 10 April 1939. Paul was born 26 April 1922 and died of wounds received on Iwo Jima during World War II. +Ollie Hooker, was Ollie Mae Stafford, see Mary “Mollie” Frances Milstead. Ollie married George Riley Hooker 24 Sept 1916 in Salisbury, Rowan Co NC. +Lara Lee Rogers, aka Laura Lee Milstead, married Bliff William Rogers. Laura Lee was born 28 June 1926 and the daughter of Dave Milstead and Nena StClair. +Sally Fox, aka Sally R. Fox was born 25 Sept 1899 and the wife of Arthur A. Fox. This submitter does not know how Sally fits into this family. She obviously was a friend of Ina Rector Milstead who listed her in Aunt Ett's Bible. I wonder if the “R” in Sally's name is the surname “Rector”. If so, then Sally and Ina would be kin. I would appreciate hearing from anyone who may have further information regarding this Sally.
