WILLIAM F. McCOY BIBLE – VERSION 2

Transcription and notes by Elizabeth A. Hayes, December 30, 2014

NOTES
The original William F. McCoy Family Bible is currently in the possession of 
great great grandson Wallace C. Hayes of Savannah, Georgia. This Bible originally 
belonged to Alice A. McCoy Parker of Kinston, Lenoir County, North Carolina. She 
was the youngest daughter of William F. McCoy and Zilphia Phillips McCoy. Zilphia 
was the daughter of Margaret Witherington and Peter Phillips of Contentnea, 
Lenoir County, North Carolina. William F. and Zilphia McCoy are buried in the 
Washington T. Sumrell Cemetery of Lenoir County, North Carolina. After Alice 
Parker's death, the Bible passed to her daughter Cora Alice Parker Wallace of 
Kinston. At Cora's death, the Bible passed to her daughter Doris Marie Wallace 
Hayes of Kinston. At Doris' death, the Bible passed to her son Wallace. The Bible 
was published in Buffalo by Phinney & Co., 1851, and is titled Holy Bible 
Containing Old and New Testaments Together With The Apocrypha: Translated Out of 
the Original Tongues, and With the Former Translations Diligently Compared and 
Revised with Cannes Marginal Notes. The name "Zilpha" is handwritten at the top 
of the title page. The FAMILY RECORD section of the Bible contains the 
information listed below. Some first names vary in spelling from genealogy 
documents such as wills and deeds. Items in parentheses are transcriber's notes:
