      THIS INTERPRETATION OF THE NEAL/CARTER BIBLE IS INCORRECT
      "The Neal/Carter Bible records Virginia S[usannah] B[ibb] Carter (d/o Samuel Carter and Elizabeth H[olcombe] Bibb, born May 2, 1814) married John C Cabaniss October 22, 1829.

      The Bible Notation reads: Virginia S. B. Carter, d/o Samuel Carter and Elizabeth H. Bibb;

      Chancery Records prove Samuel Carter who married Elizabeth [Clark] Bibb is the Captain Samuel, the elder of the two men;

      Her marriage record identifies her as the d/o William Neal and Martha, his wife. Elizabeth H. Bibb is the widow of a Bibb. Elizabeth Neal is the mother to all of his children; [that is why it is called the NEAL-CARTER Bible] Samuel, 'TK' [Tavern Keeper] married 2nd Elizabeth M. Holcomb 2 years before his death; her will identifies her as the Widow of John H. Holcomb, and names her Holcomb children; she is Elizabeth M. 'Betsy' Carter (nee Cocke), d/o Anderson Cocke and Elizabeth 'Betsy' Michaux. Evidence for everything I have said is shown on this site.
