McMillin Bible
This entry was submitted by Kaye Chung, chung@dsl-only.net
This Bible was returned to a descendant.
"I saved a Bible from being discarded that I found when I was putting together
a library for
my Church. I have tried to find a family member to no avail. I have even put together a small family tree with
the names in the Bible that tied together with the 1880 Census records.
This Bible was found in a Library in a Church in Portland, Oregon. I
saved it from being discarded. It is very old and the paper is starting to
fall apart the binding is bad. This Bible is not pretty to look at but I
would really like to place it in the hands of a direct descendant of
either the Diggs or McMillin family."
