The Goodykoontz Family Bible was in the possession of the late Arabella
"Mae" Hall LeSueur, wife of Harvey Crockett LeSueur and was xeroxed by
Virginia Phillips LeSueur Carter Smith before her death in 1995. The bible
was given to Sandra LeSueur Woodall who lives in Midlothian, VA and also to
share with her children who spent lots of time at the LeSueur family farm
in Bristol, VA.
 

*Research notes personally written by our  late first cousin,  Virginia
LeSueur Smith were

Moseby LeSueur and Catharine Goodykoontz were the paternal  grandparents of
Harvey "Crockett" LeSueur

Nancy Goodykoontz, 4th daughter, was the maternal Grandmother of Mae Hall
LeSueur

Arabella Baber was the Mother of Mae Hall LeSueur
"Interestingly, Moseby's brother, James Washington LeSueur, married Rebecca
Goodykoontz, a sister of Catharine and Nancy."

"William A. Hall's parents were Jonathan Cody Hall (died about 1888) and
Pauline Adams.  Jonathan's second wife was Adaline Goodykoontz, a sister of
Catharine and Nancy.  I believe then that Grandmother Mae Hall LeSueur was
raised largely by her step-grandmother, Adaline Goodykoontz LeSueur,  who
was also her great aunt (her Grandmother Nancy's sister).  Mae's Mother,
Arabella, died when Mae was only 9."

"Nancy G. Baber and John W. Baber went to live in Andersontown, IN, near
Willis.  The Babers died within three weeks of each other due to high
fever.  Nancy's brother, Washington and sister, Adaline went to IN to bring
the children back to VA and reared them."
