Perkinson, book price $1.65 cts Bensons Commentary March the 9, 1852 bought from (illegible) Glenn's note: The Bible and Commentaries were bought in an auction box by my grandparents in Louisville, Kentucky, Jefferson County approximately 25 years ago. From the many Methodist artifacts in the bible and the inscription of Rev. W.H. Quisenberrys name, I believe these books all belonged to the Reverend and were passed down to his son Tandy Quisenberry who died in Jefferson County, Ky. In 1927.I would love to return These books to descendents of the Nelson's or Quisenberry's who would treasure and Preserve them.
