MECKLENBERG COUNTY, VA - BIBLES - Family Bibles: Ward, Lamkin, Bacon, Gregory, Scott, Edwards --------------¤¤¤¤¤¤-------------- Family Record found in family Bibles in the Bessie Daniel file in the Southern Historical Collection at UNC Chapel Hill. Bessie Heath Daniel was a native of Person County, NC. Her mother was Sallie Barnett. After the death of Bessie Daniel in 1976, I personally removed these two bibles from her home and gave them to the Southern Historical Collection at UNC- Chapel Hill. I do not know how all these families are related, but I expect they were living in Halifax, Mecklenburg, and maybe Lunenburg Co. VA. The Bessie Daniel File at UNC has no restrictions on its use.
