The following is from a family Bible in the possession of a cousin of mine, who thought someone might want this information. The Bible belonged to her husband’s grandparents. I have attempted to transcribe as written; items in brackets are editorial comments. This is NOT my side of the family, and I know no more.
The Illustrated Explanatory Family Bible, etc, etc.
