A Page from the Baucom Family Bible

Click on the images for higher resolutions.


I believe this Bible page (below) was from the Bible of Mettie Lambert Baucom. Mettie (shown above on the right) was married to Charles Baucom (Left). They were the parents of Estelle "Doc" Baucom and around 12 other kids if I remember correctly. I could be wrong about the total.
In later years, the son of Charles E. Baucom and Mettie Lambert Baucom, one Doc Baucom, rose to regional fame as the man who ran the peanut stand at Eastlake Park.







And in later years became the second husband of the widowed Lessie Carlton. And Mama Lessie was the mother of the most famous man in Sweet Tea, (in Birmingham anyway) MILO CARLTON!

All that having been said, if you click on the Bible page image, it will expand in a new window where you will be able to read all the names and dates and different notations. I'll try and transcribe them.

  1. Thank you for sharing this page. Are there any others? Does anyone in your family have information about Mettie Lambert's mother, Matilda Montgomery Johnson Lambert? My great grandfather was Robert Morgan Johnson. His obituary states that he was survived by a sister, Mettie Baucom, and a brother, L.B. Lambert. Would love to hear if you have any information.

  2. I think the best info anyone from our line would have is the Baucom research that jim0400 has done. Do you have that?
