William & Ann Watkins Ormond Bible

PUBLISHED 1768 by ALEXANDER KINCAID HIS MAJEFTY'S PRINTER

Original on permanent loan by Martha Mewborn Marble to The Lenoir County 
Community College, Kinston, N.C.

Ownership of this Book went from Margaret (Peggy) Ormond who married 
James Albritton to their daughter Sarah Adelaide who married Levi 
Alexander Mewborn and then to their son Thomas W. Mewborn who gave it to 
his brother William Edgar Mewborn. From there it went to William's 
daughter LuLang who married Duncan A. McKinzie who gave it to her great 
niece Martha Sue Mewborn Marble. LuLang was not aware she had it until 
it was found in a box when selling her home. It had been considered 
missing for over 50 years.

This Prayer Book contains records of the children of William and Ann 
Watkins Ormond probably copied from their original Bible. It also 
contains records of their son, Thomas, and his family.
