The Hervey Small Bible

Provided by Margaret Behnke


Hervey Small wrote in a Presbytarian Catechism (published in 1790's) that James Alcorn and Wilson Small were his brothers; Census shows William and Mary Small had 4 sons; McMinn Co. Tenn. Census shows Mary Small in 1840 with three sons still living at home.


The following is from the Hervey Small Family Bible.


"The following is the best account of my ancestry that I have been able to obtain. My Great grandfather was of Scottish parents, but he was from Ireland to the United States. His name was John Small. I have seen his Bible and handwriting.

He raised his family in Albemarle County, Virginia. He had two sons, Matthew and Henry.

Henry died on his return from the army in the revolutionary war. He had no family.

Johns daughter was married to James Robertson,

another to William Mcmillen,

Rebecca to Isaac Burnett,

Matthew, married to Jane Henderson had 5 sons."
