Theresa penned at the bottom of this page "Written by Dorcas Weeks, great-grandmother of Josephine Martens". There are about four different handwritings in the bible pages. I have transcribed it as closely as possible, and the capitalizations and strange date abbrieviations are in the original. The scrapbook has many other documents, letters, naturalizations, photographs and other things pertaining to these people and others. I acquired this book at auction and have no information about its history. The MARTENS family came from Germany in the mid-1800s. All documents pertaining to the WEEKS family come from different places in New Jersey. People with links directly to this family should contact me directly for more information. Theresa translated a longish history of the MARTENS and has listed many more birth & death dates for the MARTENS and WEEKS.
