Here's my contribution:
COFFEY / BILYEU Bibles
(also DICKENSON, WOOLSEY, DENNIS, BAKER, AWBURY, RHEA, DONALDSON
PONDEXTER, SCOTT KEY LEWIS, JACKSON, DORRIS LINTHIAN, DAWDY, etc.)
BIBLE #1
This small black bible was lent to me through my grand uncle
Thomas BILYEU who in turn was lent to him from Janet WOOLSEY of
Kalama, WA. Janet's mother was Maxine DICKENSON WOOLSEY, her
mother was Verna COFFEY DICKENSON, and her mother was Eva BILYEU
COFFEY daughter of William Henry BILYEU "Wid", who in turn was
grandson to William BILYEU & Dianna COKER BILYEU who came to Oregon
in 1852. I could not locate a date in this small old tattered
black bible, but will list the first page info as well as all
entries as best as I can. When not readable or questionable I will
put a ? mark so you know that I could not be sure of the info. I
capitalized surnames when I knew they were surnames. Most
everything was very legible. There are at least 2 different
handwritings in this Bible. When needed I put an * to show a
break in the pages.
"The HOLY BIBLE, containing the Old and New Testaments:

I'm researching Richard Coffey who married Juanita Fellows in Illinois.
I have no information on the Coffey line at this point. I do have quite a bit
on Fellows.
Any information is much appreciated.
Thank you.
