Henry-GA-1805 to 1858 Bible Records I don't know if this information will be of use to anyone, but just in case -- following is a list of "Negroes Births" which were transcribed from photocopies of pages from the family Bible of my Anglo-American great-great-grandparents, Josephine Wingfield (Davis) and William Paschal Henry, Sr. Josephine was born in 1842 in Morgan County, Georgia to America James (Fears) and Milton Grant Davis. Josephine married Wm. P. Henry in 1864 (he was born 1836 in Kentucky), and their first child was born 1865 in Brazoria County, Texas. I have no proof that any member of this family had slaves. The last record of a "Negro birth" (October 1858) was about a year-and-a-half after the death of Josephine's mother when Josephine was only fourteen years of age. This list appears to have been made "after-the-fact" (perhaps as if it might have been completed after Josephine married Wm. P. in 1864). At this time, the whereabouts of the original Bible (or the pages from it) is unknown. It is believed that the family heirloom was in the possession of Miss Laura Hamilton of Rockdale, Milam County, Texas when the photocopies were made.
