Clanton & King

Bible Records - KING, Henry Co, VA; 1805-1919

Hello VA Rooters:

I found these two pages of records torn loose and tucked inside one of two Bibles that belonged to my grandfather, Robert Lee Clanton, grandson of Sarah Stockton and Columbus King.  I remember these records from my childhood as I always noted that William, son of Nancy, shared my November 3rd birthday (although his entry says 3th).  I had wondered what had happened to them and recently  rediscovered their existence along with some other bits of family history in an old trunk in my aunt's garage.  The Bibles are badly damaged and falling apart from moisture but I did remove them to a drier area of the house.

I have recorded the information from these pages as I see it and have not added  punctuation marks or changed the spelling of any entry.  A few were difficult to read.  Under the section that was titled Births, Negroes, I wasn't sure about the spelling for Amunwas - both the A and the M appear to be in capitals and it may be A. Munwas or Amunruas. 
Also, Sallie seems to have been used as a nickname for Sarah in this family if other records show one or the other name.

Hope this helps someone.
