This bible was published by the Virginia Genealogical Society in the Magazine of Virginia Genealogy.

NOTES: Captain George Dabney 14 May 1843 in Clinton Co., Kentucky.
His death date given in this publication of 1840 does not match his age 83 - other records have his death as 1843. Perhaps a transcription error?)
