The Blackwell Family Bible
James W. Blackwell
Edgefield, South Carolina

This Bible has been passed down through the years, and the family pages were transcribed by my Aunt Margaret (Blackwell) Elam and Uncle Charles Elam in 1987.

I am in contact with the present owner and am trying to make plans to visit to take photos of the actual Bible.

Questions I hope to get answered:

• Publish date of the Bible
• Confirm trail of owners through the years
  • James W. Blackwell
  • Susan Blackwell (his wife)
  • Fannie Cornett (their daughter)
  • Susan (Cornett) Lyon (her daughter)
  • Frances (Lyon) Parks (her daughter)
  • Mary (Parks) Bass (her daughter)
  • Joy (Bass) Conley (her daughter)
