John & Elizabeth Sugg Bible

A typed copy in the John Sugg File at NSDAR Library, Washington, DC.

It does not say so, but this typed copy probably came from "Dobbs County, NC 
Bible Records, Volume I" by William (Bill) Murphy who had the original in his 
possession. Since his Collection is in the Manuscript Division, Joyner Library, 
ECU, I assume the original is in his Collection.

The introduction in the book states - "This record was found among the papers of 
Martha Sugg Dixon of "Sandy Lawn", near Hookerton, Greene County.  It appears to 
be a Bible or Church record copied from some source now lost which dealt with the 
family of John Sugg and Elizabeth Murphrey of "Rattle Hill", on Rainbow Creek near 
Hookerton.  Now in the possession of the compiler."
