Since I didn't copy any of these, I've documented the best I could who did the copying.
Edmondson Bible Records, copied by James W. Blackburn of Bowling Green, KY, in 1896 from a family record dated 8 June 1852, written by, possibly, James R. Deupree, Dr. Blackburn's grandfather. These are the spellings and abbreviations exactly as he wrote them. Occasionally James Blackburn added death dates. These will be shown in italics with JWB after them -
