Perry Bible
The genealogical information for this family was written on
the reverse of
a New Testament title page from another Bible (Edinburgh, Blair and Bruce,
1799). This page and the first page of Matthew were placed in a later
Bible -- The Holy Bible Containing the Old and New Testaments, Philadelphia,
M. Carey & Son, 1817. The Carey Bible has no markings.
The binding is original, with a bookseller's tag inside it from
Boston, dated
1818.
This Bible is in good condition, with the original binding still
intact, or was, until
I dropped it : (. Now the cover is off.
The entries on the page were written sideways as well as down the page.
Transcribed by and in the possession of Tracy St. Claire,
