Thank you for posting this Bible information.  It has helped my research
greatly and answered several questions.  I can help answer some of the
questions about spellings.  Aniliser Watton is in fact Ann Eliza Wooten
(the daughter of Worrel Wooten and his wife Tamsey Corbett; her brother was
William Jackson Wooten of Greene County).  Your NOTE re: Willie Dildy and
Mansina his wife (NOTE: Mansina was a Bergeron) was the first evidence I
have had other than the Death Certificate of John Dildy's sister who turned
out to become my great grandmother.
