RABUN COUNTY, GA - BIBLES - Family Bible of Samuel Beck ==================================================================== Submitted by Dawn Watson Notes: This Bible is in the possession of Mr. Thad Bynum of Clayton, Georgia. He rescued it from the old Bynum House before it was torn down. The Bible is dated 1817 and was printed by Mathew Carey, No. 121, Chesnut-Street. The family records are on separate pages which were sewn or tacked into the book. The whole thing is extremely fragile; the leather cover is mostly gone, as is everything after Psalm LXXVIII. Additionally, in the family records, some portions are repeated two or more times. Here, I have sorted everything out as best I could so that each individual is named only once per event. This transcription is, therefore, not going to be in the order given in the family Bible. Photocopies are impossible to make due to the condition of the book. It is also impossible to tell when or by whom these records were written down. ------------------------ Samuel Beck was borne in [the] yeare of our Lord January the 3 1796 Tabitha Beck was borne in the yeare of our Lord June the 13 Day 1796 Mary theare Deaughter was born in the yeare of our Lord October the 25 1813 Joanna theare Deaughter was borne in the yeare of our Lord September the 15 D 1816 John theare Son was borne in the yeare of our Lord December the 23 Day 1819 Berry Benson therae Son was bornd in the yeare of our Lord August the 26 1822 Samuel Meren theare Sone was born in the year of our Lord October the 29 day 1826 Ary theare Dartor was bornd in the yeare of our Lord Juley 29 the 1829 Jasper Nuten theare Son was borne in the yeare of our Lord the May the 10 1832 Martin Vanburn theare Son was borne in the yeare of our Lord [illegible] Octobr [11th or 16th] 1834 Martha Jane though Daughter was borned in the year of our lord February 25 1838 ==================================================================== Copyright.
