AAFA TENNESSEE BIBLE AND FAMILY RECORDS
Absolom Alexander Bible

By Lynn D. Shelley, #0484
(Published in AAFA ACTION, Fall 1998, pp. 66-71)

The following Bible records were found in published sources at the TN State Library and Archives or sent to AAFA by the named source.

From MAURY COUNTY COUSINS: BIBLE AND FAMILY RECORDS.
Compiled by the Maury County, Tennessee Historical Society, Second Printing, 1978, pages 494 and 495.

[The Alford mentioned in the following record was evidently the sister of a daughter-in-law of Absolom Alexander and she must have entered her siblings when the Bible was passed to her - Mollie Hampton (who married Mack Keller Alexander). Not all entries are copied here although AAFA has the total published record.]


ABSOLOM ALEXANDER BIBLE
Owned by Elmer Joshua Alexander
Copied by his daughter, Mrs. Clifton Huckaby, 14 Aug 1967



AAFA NOTES:Ella Hampton married William James Alford, son of Robert Newton Alford and Martha Ann Edmiston, in Lawrence Co. TN on Dec. 21, 1892. They had no children. See page 65 of AAFA ACTION, Summer, 1997. They lived in Lawrence Co., TN. After she died in the influenza epidemic of 1918/1919, he married Mary Scott in December, 1924. He lived until 1951 when he died at the age of 86. Ella's date of birth given in the Bible record differs from that in the Summer 1997 AAFA ACTION, p.65 in "Lawrence County, Tennessee, Alfords: Part 5," which gives her birth date as Aug. 3, 1880.
