This Giddens Bible belonged to Lewis and Margaret Giddens, who raised their family in Wayne County, North Carolina. Lewis was a jeweler and the family genealogist. He was born in 1835 in Sampson County and married Margaret Louisa Ireland, also of Sampson County, in 1866. I am sure that Lewis and Margaret personally knew so much of the family I research.
The Bible, published in 1866, contains four pages of vital statistics for the Giddens and related family. This is my transcription of the family record page detailing marriages. Part 1: Births were posted last week, and deaths will be posted soon.
