Joseph Roddy's Bible (from Alma Finney 12/1990)
Alma Finney: I had an aunt and uncle who never married and lived in what was called "the old home place" in the country out of Fayetteville, AR. My sister was visiting there in the 30's or 40's and for some unknown reason copied this info from our Great-grandmother's Bible (Margaret Duncan Roddy). It was her husband's Bible, so it seems. Since then everyone has died and no one knows where the Bible is. This was the days before I thought of my roots. This is the Bible as she copied it. Some of it she couldn't read.
