Bertie County NC Bible - Sessoms Family File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by "Paul Murauskas" This Family Bible Record was transcribed by Paul S. Murauskas, from images of the original Bible pages found in the Bible Digital Collections of the Library of Virginia. The donator of this Family Bible is unknown, but the last descendants recorded in this record are from the Oscar Van Pelt Sessoms family living in Norfolk, Virginia. The Bible was originally owned by William Sessoms and handed down to his son Daniel Van Pelt Sessoms then to his descendants. The handwriting changes frequently as the individuals die, and the next generation continues the record. Most of the individuals named in this bible were originally from Bertie, Hertford, and Edgecombe Counties, North Carolina unless noted from Richmond or Norfolk, Virginia.
