Contributed by Susan Vargas Murphy :
I have, in my possession, a family bible that was passed down to my husband by his mother. The bible lists the
records of Jonathan Rice and Margaret Edwards (daughter of David Edwards and Elizabeth Ross). It appears that the
bible was then in the possession of Jonathan and Margaret's son Jacob E. Rice and his wife Ailsey Ann Heflin, as
their children and marriage is listed. Next, it went to Jacob and Mary Rice's daughter, Mary E. Rice who married
Theodore M. Jones. Their daughter, Bessie Jones, who married Louis Kitt passed this bible on to my mother-in-law,
Bettejo Kitt Murphy who gave it to her son, my husband. I will post here all the entries and retain the spelling
and repetitions that I find in the bible. There is no date for the bible as the front pages are missing. These
names and dates are from the family record section in the middle of the book. The pages have printed headings with
the words, Family Record-marriages, Family Record, Births, and Family Record-deaths. --S. V. M.
