Charles, I'd say that is a family treasure indeed, and it is now your honor to add your mother's name to the line then pass it on to the next generation and add yours for posterity when it is time.
I could only dream to hold a family bible with so much history behind it, let alone one with so many marks set upon it!
John Proctor was my 9th great grandfather.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful find!!!
