Sides Inside on first blank page it says: Mrs. James N. Sides James N. Sides Apr 26th/68 Book On the bottom of the title page it states: PHILADELPHIA: PUBLISHED BY EDWARD W. MILLER, ARTISAN BUILDING, RANSTEA PLACE. -------------- 1848. FOR SALE BY S. SNYDER, NO. 340 NORTH SECOND STREET, AND BOOKSELLERS GENERALLY. The entries in the record pages of this Bible were made in several hands. I will list first the entries that were made by what appears to be the earliest individuals, followed by all others. These are the entries that are the earliest and all in one hand, which is a very decorative script in black ink: Family Record - Marriages Jacob Sides and Rebecca Neel was married February 23.1832 Gizzella Jane Sides and John N. Kilgore was married February 22.1856 (later someone crossed out February and entered January in pencil) Family Record - Births Parents: Jacob Sides born January 11th.1794 Rebecca Sides born June 1st.1806 Barbara Sides born February 10th.1796 Children: Gizzella Jane Sides born October 27th.1833 (later a pencil "2" was written over last "3") Mary Elizabeth Sides born November 23rd.1834 Clarkson Sides born November 14th.1835 Jacob Sides born June 1st.1837 Rebecca Ann Sides born November 17th.1839 James Neel Sides born April 7th.1842 Elmyra Sides born January 31.1844 Deaths Jacob Sides (Sr.?) departed this life August 4th,1855 aged 61yrs, 6 months and 20 days. Rebecca Sides departed this life April 14th,1857 (the 7 changed to an 8 in pencil) Age 50(changed to 51 in pencil) years, 7 months + 16 days. Clarkson Sides departed this life April 16th. 1858 (8 changed to 9 in pencil) Aged 22 (22 changed to 23 in pencil) years, 5 months and 2 days. The rest of these entries appear to be added later by at least two other individuals: Marriages James Nell Sides and Mary R. Norris was married March 30.1887 Laurence L. Norris and Blanche Sides was married Sept. 17th, 1915 Births – page two Parents: Grizella Blanche Sides was born December 17.1887 James Walter Sides was born April 12,1891 Laurence L.

James N. Sides was my G- Grandfather and I hope this information is found useful to others as they trace their family history.
