Jennings Bible
These photocopies were included in another Bible I purchased
of the Jennings family. As I recall, the Bible itself was late
18th or early 19th century.
Just two pages were included. There may have been more.
Location of the original is unknown.
This family hit some sort of a plague or disaster, and lost
3 children and the wife within a month or so of each other.
