STRIPLING FAMILY BIBLE RECORDS
This Stripling Family Bible, and the 1869 letter tucked inside, were entrusted to me by a Stripling family so that we might share this important material with others. Following each page, you will find the typed version which is much easier to read. These folks were in Union Parish, La. very early. I'm sorry I know nothing else about these lines...I was very fortunate to have access to these records in order for everyone to share this information. I do not have a Stripling line, nor am I working on these lines. Good luck---I hope this is something you can use!! jpa
(On the inside cover is written "James Stripling...his BOOK..the word book is written in huge caps)

In reading the 1850 census Ouachita Parish, La., I found the following family...have no idea who they are or how they relate to these others, but am thinking someone might need this:

Stripling, Ann Jane age 35 Ireland
Stripling, James P. age 14 SC
Stripling, Rebecca age 9 MS
Stripling, Joseph age 5 MS
The following letter, written on 3 pages, is dated February 10/11, 1869. This was inside the old Stripling Bible. I handled it just long enough to scan it...it is so very fragile!! Evidently, this letter was written by Arthur Stripling who was living in Collin County, Texas, and was written to the Striplings who remained in Union Parish, La.
I apologize for the poor quality of this last page...it is written in faded pencil...maybe someone can decipher it.
