Bible in possession of Joe Brown, High Point, NC in 1993. Copy donated by Ima and Ailine Mewborn It is probable this record is two entirely different Bibles - a Brown Bible and an Exum Bible; however, they are found attached at LCC. The page formats are very different. For this reason all the Brown entries will be together and the same for the Exum entries. Many of the Brown entries will have the dates omitted. Although the copy for the Exum entries is clear, the handwriting is difficult to read. There is a note at the top of the page - Nettie Brown (Gates County) Brown Entries First page To Mrs. Nettie Brown By Bequeathed to her beloved son Harry Brown in event of her death Hugh Brown the son of Julian P.
