Bible of James Bradford
Record of Slave Births Only

Transcribed for this site from the WPA volume by Doris Kinser Fountain.  We are extremely grateful to her.
Researchers Note:  this is a transcription of a transcription of a transcription.  Therefore, every item must be verified through separate sources.


This record is copied from an old leaf from an old Bible of James Bradford of Jefferson County, Tenn.
Possession: An old Negro Slave, Aunt Nancy Bradford Sherfield, now living in Dandridge, Tenn. This Record was handed down to Aunt Nancy, who belonged to James Bradford, written by James Bradford and given to her by request.  She has in her possession only this old leaf, not the entire Bible.  The old slave is now 87 yrs. of age.  These are supposed to be former slaves of James Bradford of Jefferson County, Dandridge, TN.
