BAKER-WOMACK FAMILY BIBLE RECORD

Contributed by Miss Jean Stephenson of Washington DC.

(This Bible was apparently that of Isaac Baker and Aurelia Womack and the record of the family of Aurelia Womack was entered, or copied into it at an early date. The Bible passed into the possession of Jack Baker, and was given by his widow Cordella, to her granddaughter Jean Stephenson, twenty years ago.) This family lived in Georgia, Alabama and Texas.
