Fitz Randolph Bible


This bible was up for auction on ebay in March 2003. The seller gave permission for the following photographs and transcriptions to be submitted.
Transcribed by Tara Hawkins.

Description:
This 1834 plain, brown-leather-covered bible has early family records for a couple of the families that descend from Phineas F(presumably for Fitz) Randolph and his wife Margaret Mundy. The bible pages are intact, except for the two detached "Family Record" pages, but all pages have a moderate overall foxing (light brown spots). I did not see any images in the bible. The bible may have been recovered at a later date, as the front and back pages are glued to the covers and do not seem to have been the original first and last pages. The two family record pages record the birth dates for the family of Phineas F. Randolph and his wife Margaret (Mundy). There is no geographical information, other than that I am able to report that the bible came from a New Jersey estate. In addition to the two family record pages, there are two folded and handwritten sheets that list most of the same information about the same couple of families, but also most of the death dates for most of the same people.
