This is a very large Bible, impressive heavy leather. The front and back covers in very good condition. Pages are good, but the spine of the book is delicate, the reason I am transcribing instead of sending copies. I also found a personal note on a blank side of one page to her husband John Andrew Angle, dated January 18, 1888. Somehow at that point she assumed her husband would out live her. Belle Juliette Jackson Angle died August 22, 1937. This Bible was probably something displayed. There is also a smaller bible, I would think she carried to church. That one is basically the same, it just carries more Jackson information. Both Bibles are in the loving care of Linda Angle Harris.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
John McClellan and Mary Ann Glasgow McClellan moved to Holmes County, Mississippi ca 1842 when their oldest son, James Samuel McClellan, was 8 years old. They left Abbeville and the Hopewell Presbyterian Church in 1840 when John McClellan was dismissed from the church for \u201cdrinking, swearing, and realizing to fight.\u201d David P. McClellan\u2019s baptismal record is also found in the Hopewell Church records in 1838 and John and Mary Ann McClellan are listed as members in 1839. They moved first to Georgia and spent two years establishing residency so they could be allowed to later move to the lands opening up for settlement in Mississippi. They joined T. Shrayer\u2019s Wagon Train in 1842 for the overland trip from Georgia to the \u201cNew Purchase\u201d in Mississippi.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
John and Mary Ann (Glasgow) McClellan spent their remaining years in the Holmes, Attala, Carroll, and Sunflower Counties in Mississippi where most of their children continued to live. Their oldest son, James Samuel McClellan, married Hulda Mathis and moved to Old Dorsey County, now Cleveland County, in Southern Arkansas just prior to the Civil War. Hulda McClellan received a letter of dismissal from the Saron Baptist Church to take with her to Arkansas in 1860. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
This Bible record was transcribed by Nancy McClellan Feroe, Great-Great-Great Granddaughter of James and Margaret (Morrow) Glasgow, from a photo copy of the original Bible pages sent to the family February 20, 1979 by Oscar \u201cPet\u201d Hunter of Abbeville, South Carolina.
