NOTES:  This is transcribed from  the original, hand written family record 
which not in a Bible but is on three separate sheets of paper.   Images of 
this document can be found here:
http://www.patsabin.com/etn/Vsevier1.htm .
    
It appears that this record was kept by Valentine Sevier, with the last entry
approximately 1848, prior to the birth of his last child.  The last entries 
may have been made by another family member, possibly his second wife, Vinerah 
Cannon Sevier.

Note: I have not changed the spelling on any of the names...they have been 
transcribed as they are written, which includes nicknames. The "old store 
house" of Mr. Deaderick could be "stone house."
