The Henry A. Tarkington Family Bible is in possession of Dorothy Williams, Camden, NC. It was transcribed and submitted by Christine Ambrose, Camden, NC. Note that there are two sons with the same name, William Henry Tarkington. As was fairly common during this period of time, the parents named another son William Henry after their first William Henry died. The entries, which are for several families, are arranged chronologically by marriage, birth and death.
