  • Freas Brown Saunders copied his parents' family Bible records before he left their home for the last time; loose pages from the Bible are in the possession of a cousin. I have his copies in my possession. These copies are written on loose pages of stationary; each page of the original is headed and dated. Terms such as "mother" and "grandmother" are relationships to Freas B. Saunders. Material in "[]" in the typescript is not written in the original ink; I omitted most of this later material in the typescript.
