Bible Record of Thomas and Elizabeth Haught Hilyard
This was given to me by Florence Hilyard Baumgardner. She noted that it was sent to her many years before by a granddaughter of Enoch Hilyard. It is not known now where the Bible is located. I am copying this exactly as it was written, though some information does conflict with what I have from other sources.
