PAGES FROM A FAMILY BIBLE BELIEVED TO BE THAT OF
"MANERVIA BOYD"- LEDBETTER.

MANERVIA BOYD, LEDBETTER
was the first wife of Robert Henry Ledbetter.
Manervia was preceeded in death by
both her sons.
The first page appears to be the family of Manervia and what appears to be her siblings and her two children.
Question who are the John and Polly Hamm? Perhaps her mothers family??
