[Transcriber’s Note: This marriage date for William Floyd McGuire and Angeline Phillips does not correspond to their officially recorded marriage date of 14 Feb. 1867, Tazewell Co., VA, Marriage Register, Book 3, Page 24. Note also that Otis Caldwell and Mary Turley were parents of James Solomon Caldwell, the first husband of Tracy Belle McGuire and father of Emily Edna and William Otis Caldwell.] Additional Comments: The late Emily Edna Caldwell Phillips, daughter of Tracy Belle McGuire and James Solomon Caldwell, inherited this Bible from her grandparents, William Floyd McGuire and Angeline Phillips of Pounding Mill Branch, Tazewell County, Virginia. Emily and her brother, William Otis Caldwell, were orphaned by the death of their father in 1890 and their mother in 1901, after which they were raised by William Floyd McGuire and Angeline Phillips. Several of the written notes and scribbles in the Bible and the loose note inside the pages were probably added by little Emily as a child. She gave the Bible to David McGuire Trayer in 1965.
