Introduction
It is with much pride and
pleasure that I am able to present to you a facsimile of the genealogical
information contained in the Henderson Frier Bible.
I shall do my best to
reproduce this information as it is in the Bible and also a more readable
manner. As one can imagine, the paper shows its age as well as its sulfur
content.
Please know that this book
has withstood the ravages of time, insects, water and that of man.
Be not forgetting this
Bible was there when Sherman marched through Georgia.
Henderson was 90 plus years
old when he entered the death notice of his youngest child, Leacy Ann Dent nee
Frier. Two months later he was dead at the age of ninety one less nine days.
Some stranger must have
entered the death of Henderson for neither Joshua Hoyt Frier nor his younger
brother Aaron Gains Frier would dare use the y in Frier when posting the death
of their father. Both of these two sons lived near Henderson, and of course,
were his close neighbors.
The homes of these three
Frier people were on the "River Road" as it was known in those days.
Today, portions of this rode still exist. Georgia Road # 107 as well as Burkets
Ferry Road, which runs west out of Hazelhurst, Georgia, still use parts of this
old right-a-way. Joshua is buried about fifty yards north of 107 (and three
miles east of US 441) while Henderson is at rest about 150 yards north of
Burkets Ferry Road and about 2.7 miles west of the control tower of the airport
in Hazelhurst, Georgia.
After many miles and years
of searching I finally tracked this very elusive book to Mrs. Sanella Cauchois
of Hazelhurst, Georgia.
She having taken up
residence in a retirement home was limited in space to keep any items, had given
it to her niece Mrs. Virginia "Ginger" Turner of Hollywood, Florida
for safe keeping.
In my adventures of
searching for this Bible of my ancestor one of my trips had taken me as far as
California while all the time, but unknown to me, this old leather bound volume
was, practically in my own backyard. The joy of finding it is still with me. It
was rebound as well as restored last summer (1984) by a professional bookbinder
in Pennsylvania and is now in good condition.

-
- There seems to be a
preponderance of errors on this page. For example, the first entry:
"Issah Hansel married
Laura Lucille Pattisere" The correct name of the
groom should read Isaiah and that of the bride "Laura Lucille Pellicer.
Then you might want to
consider the spelling of Aaron's wife's name ie Narrica as opposed to the way
Aaron spelled it - Narcessa. etc. etc.

which is found on on the front side of the second loose leaf. (See page X of the
