This record was submitted to the Louisiana Genealogical and Historical Society, Baton Rouge, LA, in February, 1962 by Miss Tallulah Arbour, 352 St. Louis Street, Baton Rouge, La., who has added in parenthesis some notes which identify some persons listed in relation to herself. This is a Holy Bible, published by the American Bible Society, New York, 1850.
Inscription "Ann Manard Case Sands Book, presented by Solomon Morgan Brian." Miss Arbour also sent these notes:
"Solomon Morgan Brian married twice. Mr. Chance is a descendant from the Rogillio union, and I am from the second marriage with Ann Sands. We are using Solomon Morgan Brian's silver. It was willed to my mother by an aunt, whose husband, an uncle, Milton Chance, put it in her lap when she, as a little girl, attended her Aunt Nina's funeral......The Chance's married into the family twice. Benajah Chance married grandpa's half sister, Rachel, and Milton married his sister, Peninah Appoline Brian."
Solomon Morgan Brian bought the Evergreen Plantation land from John G. Shirim, who is buried in the Brian family Cemetery, off Louisiana Highway 952, 3 1/2 miles north of Jackson, Louisiana. John G. Shirim died July 25th, 1837, aged 93 years.
