My first wife through afflicted & could not read appreciated it highly as a family Relict and for her sake I have Kept it a precious treasure. I would have given it to her surviving half brother, but do not suppose from appearances that he would appreciate it either as the word of God or a family relict. I therefore present it to you believing you will appreciate it for both. It’s intrinsic value is small, very small, but as a family Relict is valuable indeed. Here we may read and at the same time feel that our eyes are out, looking the identical words, lines, & pages which our ancestors perused & upon which they meditated and by the Ending were no doubt blessed. Please accept it from one who is your friend, not an account of its intrinsic, but its Relict value. Had I not every reason to believe you will treasure it up as precious[,] I would have Retained it while I live for the law and appreciation of my first but Carry since departed well beloved wife. I am dear Sir Truly your friend E H Riggan |

Part 2 [Please note that there are errors in this Bible Record. The Thomas Davis who is called “General” below was, in reality, the Thomas Davis who left a will in Halifax County, North Carolina dated 29 Sep 1764 and found on Halifax County Will Book 1, page 153. He had married Hartwell Hodges in Virginia. General Thomas Davis, his son, died in Fayetteville, North Carolina on September 25, 1822. (Lois S. Neal, Abstracts of Vital Records from Raleigh, North Carolina Newspapers 1820-1829 Volume II (1980, second printing, Raleigh, North Carolina: North Carolina Genealogical Society), 174, no. 1438) The older Thomas Davis did have a brother (Lewis Davis) but either one of them being born outside Virginia is very doubtful. The older Thomas Davis had no war experience.] |
