All Bible records held by the State Archives are now described in their online catalog. They have been digitized and the images and transcriptions are available as part of the North Carolina Digital Collections.
Once you access the Family Record link above, you can search by Wake or any other county. At the left side of the page, you will find a "Format" box that will allow you to focus only on the bible records. You can search for a particular family by using the "Title" box drop down menu also on the left side bar.
The Wake County Bible section includes 190 record groups at this writing including names that have long been a part of Wake County history. You will find records for the families of Etheldred and Jane Jones, Col. Matthew and Sarah Lane McCullers, Col. William Hinton, and so many more. I ran into records for both maternal and paternal sides of a good friend just browsing the list! The records span colonial times through 1989.
I found my old friends Needham Price and his sister Schaharazade Price Mial (Wake Gen Watch,1.2 p.6) while browsing the Mial bible. See screen clip below.
