I would be very interested in what the content of these bibles are. Where were they bought and what area does the bibles mention? My great grandfather has been my biggest brick wall in all my research. His name was Joe Mathews and also went by Joe Mathis. I know that he lived as an adult all over Georgia, but I do not know where he wa!
s born or where he came from or who his parents are. I think he was born November 8,1880. He married Artemissa Kersey.
