Rev. Jesse Thompson Bible











Bible is in possession of Glennie (Thompson) Blevins, Cameron, NC

Mrs. Blevins copied all the entries in this bible prior to 1948
from an old bible owned by Louisa (Grant) Thompson who died 30 Aug 
1876. Mrs. Bryant Thompson, wife of the son of Louisa (Grant)
Thompson, continued the entries from where his (Bryant's) mother
left off. This wife was Elizabeth Caroline (Caviness) Thompson.
Elizabeth died 23 Dec 1929

The next person to continue the entries was Newell Elizabeth McDuffie, 
who married Edward Braxton Thompson, son of Bryant Thompson

After Newell Elizabeth (McDuffie) Thompson died on 9 Mar 1944, entries
were continued by her daughter, Mrs. Glennie (Thompson) Blevins, who
copied the original entries & added on the subsequent data
