Clay County Bible Record
Joseph MARTIN Family Bible

     The following record was copied from pages in a bible owned in 1937 by Rachel (Riley) LANKFORD, first the property of Joseph and Ruth MARTIN, her great grandparents.  The Bible from which the record was copied was in a very bad state of preservation at that time--no backs and a portion of the pages missing.

Originally copied by Clyde V. FITZGERALD, Celina, Tennessee, October 1937
