The following is a verbatim transcript of a short article found in the "Bulletin" of the Watauga Association of Genealogists. Since that issue of the "Bulletin" is difficult to find in libraries and is useful for a dozen Hampton profiles, the article is being posted here.


Submitted, photographed and transcribed 11 July 2008, by Margaret W. Hougland, [email redacted.]

The Bible is in the possession of Martha G. Whaley, Hwy 91, Elizabethton, TN. It was printed by Mathew Carey Co., Philadelphia, 1802.
