1841 DIDLAKE FAMILY BIBLE (Perry County, Alabama)
Transcription of Recorded Family Events
And
Facts Concerning the Bible Itself

I.  About the Bible
*	Publication date: 1841
*	Publisher and edition: H. & E. Phinney's Stereotype Edition (Cooperstown, 
N.Y.)
*	Owner: John Michael Rediker, Birmingham, Alabama
*	Owner’s relationship to Didlake Family:  James Didlake (b 1816, d 1863 in 
Perry County, AL), oldest entry in the bible, is Owner’s 2nd Great 
Grandfather. 
*	Last prior owner, from whom current Owner received the Bible, is Owner’s 
grandmother, Lillian Roden Bowron (b. 15 Nov1879 in Birmingham, d. 2 
Nov 1970 in Birmingham). Lillian’s mother, listed in this Bible, was Ella 
Lee Didlake (b. 1850 at Marion, AL, d. 1919 in Birmingham), and her 
grandfather, listed in this Bible, was James Didlake (b. 1816 in Perry 
County, AL, d. 1863 in Perry County AL).
*	As shown in an internal reference below, the probable first owner of this 
1841 Bible was the current Owner’s second great grandmother, Dorcas 
Cunningham Dorroh Didlake (i.e., wife of James Didlake), who was born 22 
Jul 1824 and married 24 Nov 1842, i.e., the year following publication of 
this Bible by H & E Phinney. This Didlake Family Bible has been in 
continuous possession of the family, down to my Grandmother (Lillian 
Roden Bowron, supra), then to me (with consent of my Mother) since it was 
purchased in or about 1842 and has continuously resided in Alabama (even 
through the Civil War).
