Notes from Spencer (more at end):
"Fathers name was Nathan was written by Lorenzo Dow Bullard between 1850 and 1860 in his Bible. This followed by "Mothers name was Sarah Stroud before she was married" was a great surprise found in Lorenzo's Bible in mid September 1998. The significance of this is, there is evidence identifying Lorenzo b. 1816 in TN as a brother to Wright b. 1797 in SC, Asa b. 1793-1805 in SC, Elijah b. 1806 in SC, John b. 1810 in TN, Stroud b. 1814 in NC, and Sarah b. 1821 in TN. Nathan and Sarah Stroud were married January 21, 1795 in Duplin County, NC.
The bible is a large hard cover book with front page separated from main binding. The title and copyright pages are missing. The family records are loose pages in clear plastic protective covers. The bible has been passed on to Olive Sue Withrow, Fairfield, IL, a gg-granddaughter of Lorenzo Dow Bullard.
Following are the records copied with the spelling and format included in the bible. I am translating from a copy made from the originals by Ruth Howe, my sister.".
