Additional Comments:
Transcriber’s Notes: The Bible is in the possession of Margaret Jolene (“Peggy”) 
Sheets Palmer of Woodstock, GA. It was given to her by her uncle, Roy Elswick, 
of Tazewell County, Virginia. He told her that the book had come from the estate 
of a deceased Tazewell businessman who had been an avid collector of old books. 
Peggy thinks the Bible was owned earlier by her grandfather, James Floyd McGuire 
(1893-1971), of Tazewell County, who was a descendant of Reverend William 
McGuire (c. 1779-1862) and Margaret Brown (c. 1784-c. 1855), both of Tazewell 
County. Margaret Brown’s parents are thought to have been James Brown and Esther 
(Goff?). James and Esther had at least eleven children, as named in his will 
(probated in 1814, Tazewell Co. VA, Will Book 1, page 73). Among the named 
children was a son, James (born c. 1791) in Virginia. Peggy Palmer suspects that 
this is the James Brown named in the family records section of the Bible.

The three births listed on the last page are those of the children of William 
Floyd McGuire (1841-1923) and Angeline Phillips (1848-1911) who lived on 
Pounding Mill Branch in Tazewell County. They were the grandparents of the James 
Floyd McGuire mentioned above.
Each page containing family history is written in different handwriting and 
apparently at different times.
