Thomas McCreary Bible



I copied the transcription of this Bible at the Greensburg (Ind.) library in the 1970s. The Bible is listed as being owned by Rex Buchanan. Thomas McCreary and wife Tilitha Buchanan lived in Shelby Twp., Jefferson Co. Both are buried at the Salem Cem. (associated with what is now called the Cross Plains Church of Christ.) All the names and dates are from the Bible, but I did note whether dates are abbreviated or spelled out, or whether the words born and married are spelled out.     –Robert W. Scott, August 2000
