Could the Bible be in Iowa? I was told that in the 1970's. My Revolutionary great-grandfather, William Neill of Lee County, Va. had a daughter Elizabeth who married Evans Peery and moved to Grundy County. Buried there. The Bible was willed to his son, Stephen Neill Peery. Don't know where it went from there but sure would love to know as it has Neill info in it, too.Elizabeth Neill Peery had a sister, Eudotia Neill Patton, widow of a Methodist minister, Arnold Patton, who died in Virginia. Eudotia and her three young daughters, Bathsheba, Mary and Louisa, who married in the Grundy County area in north Missouri.Did they possibly have descendants who moved to Iowa? Also, an ealy Methodist publication in Missouri noted that Eudotia Neill Patton was the or one of the early or first school teacher in Grundy County.And have you ever heard a story about a branch of the Peery family somehow changing it to Peay? I live in Clinton, Missouri and am a gr-gr-granddaughter of Elizabeth Peery and Eudotia Patton's brother Stephen Thompson Neill of Lexington and wife Mary Dalton Fulkerson. Thanks for any info.--K
