The bible inscriptions presented below are from the Knox Family bible which was given to Tennessee C (Wheeler) Knox as gift, by her husband, Samuel Andrew Knox in January 1865.   Sam Knox was a merchant in New Albany for several years and served as a Sergeant in the New Albany Grays during the war later he surveyed the road that ran from New Albany to Myrtle, MS (Knox Deaton Road).  Sam’s father, William Knox, is buried in Ripley, Mississippi.  My Great Grandfather James Frederick Hawkins married S. E.  Knox, daughter of Sam Knox, on December 31, 1876 and lived in New Albany on Main Street, apparently there were no other houses & later they moved to Washington County (two ghost towns Pinafore and Deer Creek).  James Frederick Hawkins was a practicing and licensed physician in Union County per an article in the New Albany Gazette.   S. E. (Knox) Hawkins was given the family Bible and it journeyed west with her when the Hawkins family moved to Marysville, WA in approx. 1890 using a covered wagon as the vehicle for the move.   Dr. Hawkins was the city physician for the city of Marysville, WA. and established a pharmacy in that municipality around 1892 he died in 1895.
