The Bible is in the possession of Brenda Black Watson. I am the second great-granddaughter of Andrew and Margaret. I inherited several Family Bibles from my Uncle George Black in Arcola, IL in 1977. This transcript is taken from six pages out of the original Bible. I have faithfully maintained the original spelling. The Bible was Stereotyped by E. and J. White for "The American Bible Society," 1826

Andrew Black was born in Mt. Sterling, Montgomery Co., KY in 1807, married Margaret Lockridge (1811-1863) and died in Greencastle, Putnam Co., IN in 1885. They had 13 children, many of whom stayed in the IN area for the first generations.
