Biographical/Historical Note
The 1815 leather-bound Bible was printed in 1815 and has been in the Brickey Family since 1852 when it was given as a gift from John Compton Brickey of Catawba Valley to his son and namesake. John Brickey, Jr. kept a record in the Bible of his children’s births, marriages and deaths. The Brickeys in America are descended from Peter Brickey, the only son of a French immigrant, Jean Bicquet, to have male children. Bicquet the Huguenot persecution in France and came to the United States in 1680. In addition to the Bible, the Brickey Bible Papers include written genealogical accounts of the Brickey Family by various family members throughout the years. Several photographs of the Brickey Family are included as is other research material related to the Brickey Family.
