Ownership of this Book went from Margaret (Peggy) Ormond who married James Albritton to their daughter Sarah Adelaide who married Levi Alexander Mewborn and then to their son Thomas W. Mewborn who gave it to his brother William Edgar Mewborn. From there it went to William's daughter LuLang who married Duncan A. McKinzie who gave it to her great niece Martha Sue Mewborn Marble.
