Granville County, NC - Davis Family Bible

Transcription of the Davis Family Bible

Bible is currently owned by Bruce Davis and in possession of Tilley 
Davis Pickard.  I’ve transcribed it exactly as written – as much as 
possible - including misspellings and imperfect grammar. The Bible is 
covered in a red fabric and is in poor condition. Many of the pages are 
loose and have been re-inserted incorrectly. The binding and glue on the 
spine of the Bible has disintegrated. These handwritten entries are on 
pages in the center of the Bible. Most are on pages with headers 
(Marriages, Births, Deaths, Names) and elaborate artwork. Only one page 
was originally a blank page, but it was used to record family births 
and deaths.
