The Malachi & Fanny Waterfield Bible

Kind permission to publish on the Currituck website given by Martha Elmore.

This Bible suffered extensive water damage at some point in time.  Of the 5 pages some could be read fairly easily, and some could not.  I hope the Bible transcriptions below each page will be valuable to Waterfield researchers.  Anyone knowing more about this family please e-mail me.
