The Westfall-McAhron Bible record is in the possession of Lois Hutchins Whitlock of Corning, Tehama County, CA. She received it from her maternal aunt, Ida McAhron Mortenson, who, in turn, had been given the Bible after the death of her father, Jacob Lewis McAhron. John Westfall entered most of the record himself. This is substantiated by a comparison of the handwriting in the Bible record, John's handwriting and signature on original court records (such as Brooks Heirs vs. Reed, et al., Bullitt Circuit Court, KY). Upon examination of James McAhron's signature, it is likely that he wrote some of his children's birth entries. James McAhron, son of William McAhron and Jane Lewis, was born in Bardstown, Nelson County, KY. Around 1819 he moved with his parents to Bullitt County, KY, where he reared his own family and died. That the Bible originally belonged to John Westfall is also supported by Bullitt County court records which show that Andrew Eddington (Bible page 679) had been apprenticed to John Westfall on 16 June 1821. Furthermore, Samuel and Jenny Quick (Bible page 579) are undoubtedly the same as the Samuel Quick and Jenneke Kortrecht who married 1 June 1775, in the Minisink-Machackemeck Dutch Reformed Church, Orange County, NY. Both Samuel's and Jenny's mothers' maiden names were Westfall. Samuel's and Jenny's daughter, Lydia Quick Williams, was John Westfall's fourth cousin. John Westfall's father and both of Sarah Westfall's parents were baptized in the Minisink-Machackemeck Dutch Reformed Church. Daniel and Henry Westfall were brothers, sons of Johannes Westfall and Apollonia Kortrecht. Sarah Westfall's father was Henry Westfall, her mother Susanna Kortrecht, daughter of William Kortrecht who was a brother of Apollonia Kortrecht and a relative of Jenneke Kortrecht above. Brothers Daniel and Henry Westfall left the East Coast and moved to what is now West Virginia. They then removed to what is now Bullitt County, KY, in 1789/90. Their offspring, John Westfall and Sarah Westfall, married in Bullitt County, KY. After the death of both of his parents, Jacob Lewis McAhron took the Bible with him when he moved to Carroll County, IN, in the 1850s. Alice D. McAhron, born in Carroll County, IN, was Jacob's first child. Jacob's sister Minerva also moved to the same county, where she married Alfred E. Briney. Greenup Briney, their son, was born in Carroll County, IN. Samuel L. Nichols lived on land adjacent to James McAhron's father, William McAhron, on the Salt River near Cedar Point Creek, Bullitt County, KY. Samuel's half-brother, Shadrack Anderson Nichols, married Ellen Jane McAhron, daughter of William McAhron and his second wife, Jane Tingle. Someone wrote over most of the entries on page 670, probably because the ink had faded.

Yet the defendant did not on plaintiff arriving at the age of 21 years pay him Said L3-105 equal to $11.66 2/3 nor furnish him the Said clothes which should have been worth equal to $50.00 And he failed & refused to, and did not Send Plaintiff to school at all [the words at all are crossed out or underlined] for learn or Cause him to be taught to _read_, _or_ _write_, or to the Single rule of three in Arithmetic which alone. for want of the education has injured him and thereby damaged him to the amount of $1000. -- In all he has thus, by said _failure_ of defendant to perform his Covenant, been damaged at least $1066.66 2/3. and which defendant refuses to pay or Satisfy Wherefore he prays for a Judgment for said damages, and Costs- or for general relief Cord for Pltff------ Saml.

And for further answer the Defendant says that by an order of the Fleming County court made at the March Term 1841 that the plaintiff was apprenticed and bound to the Defendant for the period of eight years from and after October 1841 or untill the plaintiff should attain to the age of Twenty one years. and the Defendant States that the plaintiff left and runaway from the defendant in the summer of 1845. More than three years before the experation of the time or before he had attained the age of Twenty one years and the defendant States that during the time the plaintiff Continued with the Defendant that he this defendant did ruele? and Truely teach the plaintiff the art and mystery of farming. and did constantly find the plaintiff in neat lodging and wearing apparell fit for an apprentice to have. and did- Send him to School and cause him to be learned to read and write. and So long as the plaintiff served with the Defendant this Defendant in all things keeped and performed his said Covenant. and in so far as he may have failed it was produced by the Conduct of the plaintiff in breaking the covenant on his part. And for further answer the Defendant States that the plaintiff ought not to have and maintain his petition because the plaintiff did not keep and perform his covenant of indenture and by means of the plaintiff running off and absconding from the Service of the Defendant the defendant was prevented from fully and in every? particular performing the law on his part.
