Additional Comments:
Marriage and the Daniel Kelly-Rhoda Drake family and the Hannah Kelly death 
all appear to have been written by the same hand and possibly at the same time 
(Bible purchased in 1815 after these family events.)

David and Mary Laing's children also appear to have been written at the same 
time (different hand) and in this order - note the February and August birth 
of the same year and not in sequence

The Bible is in very poor condition with pages pulling away from the spine and 
evidence of foxing.  Written in the cover it says "Bought in 1815"

The Holy Bible containing the Old and New Testament together with the 
Apochrypha and arguments prefixed to the different books. with moral and ?
logical observations illustrating each chapter.  composed by The Reverend Mr. 
Ostervald Professor of Divinity and one of the ministers of the church at 
Neupchatel in Swisserland. Translated at the desire of and recommended by The 
Society for Propagating Christian Knowledge. 
New York. Published by Evert Duykckinck, John Tebout, C & R Waite and Websters 
and Skinners of Albany. George Long, Printer. 1813.

This bible was found at an auction in Edison Twp, NJ in 1963 by Norman Johnsen 
and sent to me as a possible descendant of this Kelly line.
