MANERVIA BOYD, LEDBETTER
was the first wife of Robert Henry Ledbetter. Manervia was preceeded in death by both her sons. She and the oldest son John died during a time when Robert Henry, was away from home serving his country in the Civil War.

The reason I believe this to be her bible. There is a page here with Manervia and what appears to be her siblings and is her two children. Also a reference to persons which might have been her mothers family. I state here her mothers family, because the first two entries are the only two names which I have no other records of.
