Subject: Elizabeth Brookins Franklin Family Bible (Georgia) 

 
My comments are enclosed in square brackets [].


At the beginning of the New Testament is the publisher's imprint. At the bottom of the page is: 


Stereotyped by James Conner, New York
Boston:
Published by Carter and Hendee,
Corner of Washington and School Streets
MDCCCXXXII (1832)


On a blank page at the front of the bible, the owner's name is written:


Elizabeth B. Franklin


Below her name is written


James B M


Elizabeth's son-in-law was James Barnes Moran. I'm guessing this was the beginning of his name.

This bible was owned by my 3rd great-granmother,
Elizabeth Brookins Franklin and has been passed down
from mother to daughter. It is now in the possession of
my sister. It is in a pretty sorry state but I was able
to extract all the family history entries. The scanned
images can be seen on my website
