Cook Bible

This Bible was submitted by Maryann Cook Gunn .

I learned of this Bible on the Cook Family Forum by a note from Tara Hawkins. It was for sale on ebay.
It was published by Hartford, and printed by Hudson and Co. in 1816. The Bible is now owned by me,
Maryann Cook Gunn. The family lived in Hanover, Morris County, New Jersey.

It contained a cut out newspaper obit of William Coddington, aged 63 years.

"Coddington-at San Francisco, Cal., on Jan. 4th, 1874. Funeral services will be
held at the residence of his sister, Mrs. Eliza Stenson, no. 170 Belleville Ave., on Friday, March 27,
at 8 o'clock, A.M. The remains will be conveyed to Hanover, Morris County, N.J., for interment."

I figured out who Mary Warner was. Her maiden name is Coddington. She is the niece of Sally Cook, who owned the bible, through her sister Phebe Cook, who married Millard Coddington. Polly Green is the sister of Sally Cook. Phebe is spelled as written.

Thus for his power prolong my day
and every evening shall make known
Love fresh memorial of his grace.
