Lenoir County, NC - Bibles File contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by Martha Marble <mmarble@erols.com> WILLIAM COUNCIL FIELDS BIBLE NOTE: On Page 3 there is a list of ages which is confusing and Stephanie Pope has discovered the explanation. A later generation in 1944 was trying to figure out the age from their death to 1944 and used the actual Bible for her mathwork. Althought this information is part of the Bible as it exists today, the researcher should ignore said figures.
