I recently received this bible record from the DAR file
records on Luke Standefer. I have transcribed and noted when entries were difficult to
read. The page is very difficult to
read. Wesley Burdine was the husband of Sarah Standefer, daughter of Luke and Mary
Ann Price Standefer. *Virginia Bible Records, pub 1987, indicates that the
Burdine Bible was own by Mrs. Edwin M. Stander of Memphis, TN.
