James Daniel and Sarah Elenore Huneycutt Whitley Family Bible Records

I spent this afternoon browsing around in the North Carolina Digital Collection which can be found on-line at - http://cdm16062.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/home

I found some interesting and exciting items in this collection and was amazed at the number of Family Bibles available on line. One of my finds this afternoon was the James Daniel and Sarah Elenora Honeycutt Whitley Family Bible Records.

This record contains 8 individual pages including the two you see posted here.

 



























James Daniel Whitley was the son of Lemuel Hosea Whitley and Eva Francis Harward Whitley. Sarah Elenore Huneycutt Whitley is the daughter of Eli R. Huneycutt and Mary Ann Morton Huneycutt. 

These Bible pages may be viewed and downloaded from this website - http://cdm16062.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/ref/collection/p15012coll1/id/52709

This is an interesting site and I highly recommend you add it to your research list if you have families living in North Carolina.
