I was visiting an elderly Aunt in MO last year and we visited a cousin of hers that had an old Woodley bible. Well, as it turned out, the bible started out being a Wynn bible then it turned into a Woodley bible. Mary Wynn Woodley being the youngest child was probably left the bible and when she died her son Robert took it. Anyway, it started out being the Robert Wynn family bible.
