Hoadley Bible
The New Testament, Edinburgh, Printed by Alexander Kincaid
His Majefty's Printer, MDCCLXIX (1769).
This Bible is in fair-poor condition. The original title page
is missing, so the above information is from the New Testament
title page. There are pages missing and many separated and
laid back in. There are hatch marks on the respective title pages,
indicating the number of times read, I imagine. I count 16 on the
Apocrypha title page.
Internet sources put this family in Connecticut. Jude Hoadley
was a sergeant in the Revolutionary War.
There is some ambiguity on the death dates -- whether they
refer to the person above or below the date. Please check the
scans and draw your own conclusions.
