6/22/1998
These pages were transcribed exactly how I found them to the best of my ability. I have made an attempt to correct nothing except capitalize surnames. Brackets show illegible or obvious corrections. These records were taken from color photo-copies I personally made of the original bible pages as the originals are too fragile to handle.
I am a direct descendent of James Hey LEMON and Adelaide Montezuma KATER being their great-great-granddaughter.
The original bible is in the possession of Mary Elizabeth MCCOY.
Thanks once again to all that have posted info and helped me in my searches. Good luck to all!
