Bible of Elias Hawkins Estes and his wife, Sarah Ann Easley Estes
Two pages that I've transcribed from the old family bible of Elias Hawkins Estes and his wife, Sarah Ann Easley Estes.  I found the bible two years ago in a junk store here in Brownsville and bought it for $100.  We had not known Sarah Ann's maiden name nor any of the dates that were written on the four inside pages if this 150 year old bible.  You can imagine my happiness in finding it --- or rather it finding me!!
I have transcribed it exactly as written in the bible.
