"This Bible is owned by Margaret Short Jones who lives in Portland, Tennessee. (She passed away in April 1999). Margaret wrote this: I'm sure a lot of these names are misspelled but this is exactly the way Grandma Jennetty recorded them in her Bible. She also recorded that Grandpa Mulloy died August 29, 1901. Possibly Grandpa Short's mother was a Mulloy before her marriage because his name is Issac "M" Short.
Martha Lamberths death was recorded also. This is Grandma Short's sister."

In the Bible records, it only lists Francis Short's b-date and marriage date to Cornelius. I added her death date, his birth and death date. Bible records show spelling Francis, but cemetary shows Frances.)
