JOHN HARRIS BIBLE

Copy of Original Bible Records found at NSDAR Library, Simon Herring Folder. 
Posted with permission of the DAR.

NOTE: The original pages appear to be taped in several places making it 
almost impossible to read. Only the first page of what actually appears to 
be a Prayer Book is included and the additional pages may be on lined paper 
but appear to be old and not a recent transcription.  A note on the top of 
the copy states the James Herring Bible Contents were copied by C. F. Herring, 
Jr in Dec 1918. I think she meant the Harris Bible contents was copied at 
that time.
