MCCOY BIBLE This Bible was found in the papers of Egbert Thomas Rouse, Sr. and the original pages will be placed at Joyner Library, East Carolina University. We thank Elizabeth Smith Borum and Mr. Rouse?s family for permission to use this information. This McCoy family lived in the Contentnea Neck area of Lenoir County but may have come out of Greene County. The researcher should be aware that there are two versions of this Bible found in Vol 2 of Dobbs County Bible Records by William Murphy and both are slightly different from each other and different from this one. There is also a Bible of John Franklin McCoy found in this Vol which has different information. The location of these Bibles is not known and we have no scans or actual copies of them. The indication in Murphy?s book was that all of the Bibles were in the possession of Egbert T. Rouse?s mother at one time so it is possible this Bible is actually one of the above with a little information added that was not found in the Bible itself. Some of the additional information in the other Bibles are: William F.?s name was Franklin and he was the son of Cullen Coward McCoy and his wife Mary ? surname not mentioned. William F.?s first wife was Julia Ann Oxley His 2nd wife was Zilphia Phillips daughter of Peter and Margaret Wetherington Phillips THE HOLY BIBLE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT Translated out of The Original Tongues Philadelphia Fireside Publishing Company NOTE: There is no publication date This Certifies That John F.
