Garard Bible

This Bible was submitted by Jesse Birder. "I have a Bible for the Stephenson Garard family of Greene County, PA. It's in very bad condition with the title page missing. Some of the inscriptions are in the same pen and hand (suggesting they were added after the fact), others in different handwriting."
