DAVIDSON BLACKWELL BIBLE
Note: This record was
contributed by Mary Ann Strickland Grainger from a copy made
and shared by Jean Barber of Jasper, Alabama, the foremost
researcher on the Blackwell families. I do not know the
date of the original bible or its publisher. I have not
included the records that were scattered in the bible that
provided the birthdate and marriages of grandchildren. By
numbering this record, the entries on the grandchildren can
be added later.
