NOTE: The Frederick Foy Bible is found in “Bible Records of Dobbs Co.” by 
William Murphey. It has an intro and entries not found in the above; however, 
the above has entries not found in Bill’s version. Most of Bill’s Bible 
records were found at the NC Archives but if they have this one, it is not 
online as of Oct. 2009 so it is not possible to double check the various 
versions.

In his introduction Bill states “Frederick Foy was a son of James Foy and his 
second wife Elizabeth Ward. Frederick Foy’s first wife was Lency House.  His 
second was Christian, a daughter of Frederick Dixon and Christian, probably 
Caswell, of “Biscuit Hill” near Hookerton in Greene County. The owner and 
location of this record are unknown.”  Bill’s version states  Frederick was 
born at the family plantation “The Sugar Maple” near Hicks Run, Onslow Co.  
His version does give the surname of both wives and they are Greene Co. names.

NOTE: Christian, wife of Frederick Dixon was a Blanchette, not a Caswell, 
according to the John Pope Bible.
