Tilmon Woodhouse Family Bible

In 1978 this Bible was owned by Mattie Iona Outlaw Saunders (1912-1989) of Grandy, NC.  Mattie Iona was the d/o John Homer Outlaw & Martha Caroline Evans.  Martha Caroline (Evans) Outlaw was born Mar. 20, 1876 to Jesse Evans & Polly M.F. Woodhouse, d/o Tilmon Woodhouse & Martha Caroline Williams  .  There is a tag in the Bible that reads “Given to me by Mrs. Louie Barco” and is signed "Iona Outlaw Saunders".  As of November 2010, no one knows who the present owner might be.  Tillman/Tilmon Woodhouse is found in the 1850 and 1860 census as well as subsequent census records.

UPDATE from Judy Merrell Brickhouse: "This piece of paper was found in my grandmother's papers.  It is the birth date & death date of her mother Sarah Elizabeth "Bettie" Woodhouse, d/o Tillman & Martha Woodhouse. We had the birth date from Tillman's bible but NO ONE knew her death date as her tombstone and others were taken by the Sound or lost to farming implements. On the back of this paper a date is written February 9, 1896 so we assume that this paper was written by her daughter, Paulina Elizabeth Woodhouse Merrell, when she was 14 years old, her Mother passed a month after my grandmother turned 5 so she really didn't remember her mother.  The paper is in possession of  Paulina's grandson, Edward Merrell, who lives in Texas.  It reads:

Sarah E. Woodhouse
Daughter of Tilman Woodhouse and Martha his Wife was borned A.D. Feb. 14th 1854
And Departed this life in the year of Our Lord October 27th 1887 in her 33rd year of age.
