Richard Hatch Family Bible
From the Collection of Cullen Hatch, found at Heritage Place, Lenoir
County Community College, Kinston, NC
This is a copy of an original Bible, but the Bible is not identified and
there was not a copy of the first page. Hatch has a note these pages
were given to him by Mary O'Berry who stated they were found in the
papers of Benj. J. Griswold. They are evidently copied from the Rich. B.
Hatch Bible
