Notes: [1] On the flyleaf is a bookplate from the library of Hugh Johnston with a family crest and the Latin phrase, “nunquam non paratus,” meaning “never unprepared.” This is the motto and crest of the Johnston family of Scotland and Ireland. According to Filby and Meyer’s, Passenger and immigration lists index: a guide to published arrival records of about 500,000 passengers who came to the United States and Canada in the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth centuries (1985), Hugh Johnston immigrated to the United States from Ireland in 1810. Many immigrants of Scottish and Irish descent settled in the Carolinas. [2] Written at the top of the title page is “Jno. B. Gibble’s book.” The Goldsboro Weekly Argus, a newspaper from Goldsboro, North Carolina, included a reference from the Wilmington Star identifying a Jno. B. Gibble as a reverend relocating from the Episcopal Diocese of East Carolina to Texas in 1895. Further research indicated that Gibble was active in the Diocese of Dallas for several years.
