Treasure Chest Thursday~Mark Rivers Family Bible


MARK RIVERS FAMILY BIBLE
The pages from the Mark Rivers Family Bible consists of eight separate pages with many duplications. I have removed all duplicate entries and listed the remainder. In the case of Mary Ann Rivers there were two different date for her birth. I have listed both. I believe the 22th to be the right date. Peter Wesley was entered both with and without the "J": in his name. Information in brackets [] was made by me based upon my research. The Bible pages were provided by Betty Lee Hefty. Any corrections are welcome. If you know where this BIBLE is today please contact me. My E-Mail addresses is on my Blog page right side.

  2. Yes, and the lady that owned the pages and I became great friends. Sadly, she is not doing very well and I hope to see her when I visit my son.
