I am not related to these people. Sumner & Goodman, Hartford, 1849. The Bible itself is in good shape, however there are a couple of holes in the genealogy papers that obliterated a date or two. One person's entry was intentionally removed by eraser. A curious anomaly here is that although the dates of the children's marriages are all dutifully listed, the names of the spouses are not : ( After the entries for the grandchildren's births, someone pencilled the first names of the parent after the entry. These names are in [brackets]. Bathsheba Gale in this Bible is a daughter in the GALE Bible on this site. Census sources put this family in the Schuyler and Seneca Counties in New York, confirmed by LDS. This bible is currently in the possession of Tracy St. Claire of 114 Hilltop Lane, Sleepy Hollow, IL 60118. aaf@ais.net SURNAMES: GEROW GALE WILCOX GILE BROWN TRANSCRIPT BEGINS HERE____________________ PAGE ONE [flyleaf] The Property of Denton and Bersheba Gerow Written By Mark Jan 5 1869 [Marcus] PAGE TWO [Births] Denton Gerow was born January the 18th 1819 Bershaba L Gale was born October the 15th 1819 the children Green M.
