Cokonougher" To: OH-FOOTSTEPS-L@rootsweb.com Message-ID: Subject: Bible:Clark,1800-1933,Ross Co Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed THE FAMILY BIBLE OF JAMES & ROBERT CLARK The transcript of the Family Record section of James L. Clark and Robert Clark's Family Bible follows below. The Bible was published in 1827 in Boston, Mass. by C. Ewer & T Bedlington. It was purchased in 1829 at Chillicothe, Ohio for five dollars and fifty cents by James Lawson Clark, and passed on at his death to his son Robert Clark. After Robert's death, other descendents added a few entries too. When I last saw the Bible in 1976, it was in the hands of James's great-great grandson, John Lawrence DePugh, and his wife Mary (Chillicothe, Ohio). John and Mary were kind enough to let me copy the family pages in the Bible. James and Robert Clark were my ancestors as follows: James L. Clark > Robert Clark > William Wessly Clark > Rosa Ella Clark Hester > Harold Dwight Hester > Viola Mae Hester Cokonougher > Ralph William Cokonougher. This transcription is as close to the actual original as I can make it, including the original spellings, capitalizations, and punctuations. Any comments that I felt necessary to make are included within parenthesis.
