MILLSAPS BIBLE RECORD
    
    Originally owned by William and Rebecca Millsaps. It is now housed in
    Millsaps College. Bible printed in 1818. (1 have had this record since
    1938.  It was sent to me by Dan Bufkin of Jackson, Mississippi.) Submitted
    to the Society by Mrs. Kathryne Watkins, Hammond, La., State Librarian of
    the Daughters of the American Revolution. The Millsaps Family first
    settled in Augusta County, Virginia. The owner of this Bible was born in
    North Carolina. He came with his family through South Carolina, Tennessee
    and Georgia to Mississippi about 1810. They settled first in the lower
    part of the state near what is now Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Then most of
    the family went to Copiah County. Some of them went to Simpson County and
    the oldest son settled in Jasper County, Mississippi. (The Millsaps of
    Ouachita Parish, La. are descended from Uriah Millsaps, the oldest son.
    The family tradition is that Thomas, son of Uriah Millsaps, started to
    Texas and got as far as Trenton, Louisiana, when smallpox broke out in the
    wagon train and the wagon train never left this area.)
