Robert & Elizabeth Forrest Lumpkin family bible
Years ago I transcribed these family bible records from a xerox copy of the original. Thought I should post it here on the forum for all those interested in the Robert & Elizabeth Forrest Lumpkin family.
The bible actually belonged to Anderson Lumpkin, youngest son of Robert & Elizabeth, but it contains the names and birthdates of his parents and siblings as well as his wife & children.

All of the births were apparently recorded by the same person, most of them at the same time. As the bible was published in the year 1847 and the birth dates go back to the year 1756, they were apparently copied from an earlier source or written from the memory of Anderson Lumpkin.
