Nancy Warden's Bible dated Feb9,1818
My husband just inherited a very old Bible from his mothers estate.On the front page it says-Nancy Warden her Holy Bible February 9,1818-It is very fragile and most of the writing and names have faded.The Bible was published in 1829 by the American Bible Society.Another sentence that is readable says Mary Dianah Marshall departed this life Dec 10 or 16,1826.Another sentence is James MC Obear or James Milton Olear was born in the year Jan 12 or 22,1855.Another says__ood Feb or Dec 8,1864. The name Rachael is written and the name John.On a newer slip of paper left in a page are names Marlene,Dick,Norman,Charles.The name of my husbands grandfather,Roy sidney Carpenter and his address 605 Hamilton,Johnson City,Tn is written on a piece of envelope.The genealogy route this Bible took is as follows from most recent to as far as i have been able to trace-my husband-his mother,Emma Mae Carpenter Woodward Light-her mother b1897,Lula Belle Marshall Carpenter.I believe,but have not proven ,that a Frank and Maggie(MARGARET?) Marshall of Greene Co,TN were her parents. Maggies b Aug 1866, m 1889,MNU. Was Maggie a Warden? Does any one know who her mother was? Does anyone know of any Warden-Marshall marriages.By the 1900's this Bible was in Greene Co,TN if Frank and Maggie are in fact Lula Belles parents,and when she married it went to Johnson City,Tn,then Tampa ,Fla with Emma and now back to Tn.I would like to know the Warden connection.Was Mary Dianah Marshall a grandmother?Nancy Warden the other grandmother? Where was Nancy Warden from? is she the Nancy Warden in 1812 Grayson co,VA court records.Does any one have any suggestions on how i can better see all the faded names? Any help to unlock the mystery of the names in this very special Bible would be greatly appreciated.The pages are very brittle. Thank you.
