Bible Records
Wickliffe & Bodine Families
Page 31
Mr. Paul Reynolds Wickliffe, of New Jersey, has given the Harbin Memorial Library photo copies of some Wickliffe and Bodine family Bible records. The original Bibles are gone, with only the records remaining, and they seem to have come from several books. The original pages are owned by Mrs. Emily Wickliffe Walker, now (1989) a resident of Maple Manor Nursing Home.
There seems to be some duplication from different pages, but it will appear here as on the various pages. Some punctuation will be added.
