The Bible is in the possession of Brenda Black Watson. I am the second great-granddaughter of Andrew. I inherited several Family Bibles from my Uncle George Black in Arcola, IL in 1977. This transcript is taken from five pages out of the original Bible. I have faithfully maintained the original spelling.
