Bible in possession of Joe Brown, High Point, NC in 1993. Copy donated 
by Ima and Ailine Mewborn

It is probable this record is two entirely different Bibles - a Brown 
Bible and an Exum Bible; however, they are found attached at LCC. The 
page formats are very different. For this reason all the Brown entries 
will be together and the same for the Exum entries. Many of the Brown 
entries will have the dates omitted. Although the copy for the Exum 
entries is clear, the handwriting is difficult to read. There is a note 
at the top of the page - Nettie Brown (Gates County)
