Daniel Carroll Family Bible

 Introduction

This Bible record is found in the family bible of Daniel and Jane Carroll. The cover sheet is dated 1873. The Bible belongs to and is in the possession of Calvin Franklin Carroll, Great-Grandson of Daniel Carroll, Grandson of Franklin Burton Carroll and Son of Franklin Garrett Carroll and his first wife Lorine Harrell Carroll. This is a complete Bible and although the pages are very fragile, it is in considerably good shape and has been well cared for.

[Translated on Sept. 6, 1999 by Shellie Carroll, 15140 40th St., Live Oak, FL 32060. Anyone wishing additional information may contact me at shellie@alltel.net]

[Translators comments are in brackets [ ]. All other writings are as shown in Bible, with spelling, capitalization, etc. copied exactly as it appears without correction.]

[The handwriting of the entries are the same with the exception of the entries regarding the Wilson marriage and births. The entries regarding the births and deaths of Daniel and Jane's children appear to have been written at the same time by the same person, probably Jane and look to be written in pencil.]

[The entries regarding the Wilson's also appear to have been written at the same time. These appear to be in ink and were probably written by Mary S. Carroll Wilson.]
