Jameson-Cheely (Turnbull) Family Bible 1786-1942
“Jamison-Cheely family Bible records, ca. 1786-1942 – FHL US/CAN Film [1697580 Item 38]”
I studied the microfilm of this Bible’s 5-page family record on 8/1/04.There were 2 decorated pages titled Births, 1 page titled Marriages, 1 page titled Deaths, and 1 untitled and undecorated page with more births.
The Bible family records appear to have been started by someone in the family of Berthier and Cassandria (nee Turnbull) Jameson.The birth entries for this couple, each of their parents, and Berthier’s siblings & daughter are all made in the same beautiful handwriting.That same handwriting is used for the marriage entries for Berthier & Cassandria and Berthier’s parents (William M. & Gillien S. Jameson), and for the deaths of Cassandria’s parents.Different handwriting records Berthier & Cassandria’s deaths.
I’d guess that the Bible was passed on to Thomas B. Cheely, a son of Robert and Sarah (nee Turnbull) Cheely.No data is given for Robert & Sarah Cheely but much data is provided for the children of Thomas B. and Annie Lee (nee Trammell) Cheely.Sarah Turnbull was the sister of Cassandria Turnbull.Births are also given for their twin sisters Martha Ann Turnbull (“Marthy Ann Jameson”) and Mary Ann (nee Turnbull) Cassidy.Martha Ann Turnbull probably married one of Berthier Jameson’s brothers – either Bertran or Berjerome.Besides the parents of these Turnbull sisters, James and Jane Turnbull, there is one other Turnbull birth – that for William Holland Turnbull whose 17 Oct 1851 birth may be for the son of John Morgan Turnbull, brother of the above Turnbull sisters.
There is no marriage between a Jameson and a Cheely in the Bible.The connection between these two families is their intermarriage with the above Turnbull sisters.Below is a link to my RootsWeb World Connect database page for Cassandria Turnbull, the sister of my ancestor George Washington Turnbull:

If you see a connection to any of these Turnbull, Jameson, or Cheely families, I’d love to hear from you regarding any comments, additions or corrections to my database.
