Winston Shifflet New Testament Reader
submitted by Shirley Greene MemaGrn@aol.com
The following pages are from the New Testament reader of Winston Shifflett. This book was in my father and mother's trunk. My mother was from the line of Noah and Rachel Morris and Dad was from the line of Hastin and Lydia Shiflett. Both families are on the Richard Shiflett chart. There must be a connection somewhere.
Ed. note: this is possibly the Winston Shiflett who m. Mildred Shiflett, d/o Bland Shiflett. It is interesting to speculate how Keziah Frazier (d/o John and Lucy Shiflet Frazier and the mother of Noah Morris) may have received the book. She m. Lively Morris in 1838; who is the child b. in 1831?
