Copied January 11, 1963, by Ola Johnson Graham (Mrs. Foreman H.) and Loree Strader Doyle (Mrs. Price).
The Wooten-Gill Bible was offered in an auction sale in Calloway County, Ky., having been acquired in Chicago by a collector who bought old books, letters and various items for re-sale. An article appeared in the local paper (Murray, Ky.) stating one of the oldest Bibles in the county would be for sale. Mrs. Doyle and Mrs. Graham rushed down to ask if they could copy the data in it, since the people named in the Bible were from Tennessee.
The Bible was published in Philadelphia by Hubbard Brothers - no publication date. This Bible was presented to John Wooten.
