WM PITTMAN AND JOHN P. GRAY FAMILY BIBLE
Copy of original Bible found at Heritage Place, Lenoir County Community
College, Kinston, North Carolina - Vertical File #07778-8
We thank the staff at LCC for their permission to copy selected
documents from their files to place on the internet. It is requested
that researchers give appropriate credit when using these documents.
Permission to combine said documents together in printed form is not
given.
This record is in the Gray Folder, but the earliest date appears to be
for the Pittman Family. Donated by Fred Rouse. In places the copy is so
poor as to be unreadable and the original was apparently taped which
also makes places unreadable. The entries are in no order, but the
handwriting appears to be different. John Parrott Gray was the son of
William Mewborn Gray and Mary Ann Sutton. The Pittman family was part of
the Joseph Pittman family of Craven County who moved to Pitt and Lenoir
Counties.
