ROBERT W. PEEVEY BIBLE RECORD:

The State of Texas, County of Navarro.


Before me, the undersigned authority, a Notary Public in and for Navarro, County, Texas, on this day personally appeared Mrs. Margaret H. Miller, known to me to be a person of unquestioned veracity, who deposes and says:

On Tuesday, November 10, 1946, I made a trip from Corsicana, Texas, my home, to Midlothian, Texas, in the company of Mrs. T. Walter (Ruth Peevey) Erwin, Jr.

We visited in the home of Mrs. Fannie Middleton and there I copied the following records from her family bible. Mrs. Middleton is 92 years old and her full name is Margaret Ann Fannie Matilda Penelope Evergreen Peevey Middleton. I give her full name because in the bible record her initials are used in several places.

Mrs. Middleton's daughter, Mrs. Pearl McKennon did not wish the bible to be removed from the home but graciously permitted us to transcribe all the records found therein.

The records are as follows:
