Reed Bible

This Bible record was published in History and Genealogy of
The Reed Family, Johann Philib Ried in Europe and America,
W.H. Reed, Ph. G., M.D., Norristown, Pennsylvania, 1929.
Page 431.

I suspect that Dr. Reed did not transcribe these records verbatim,
but instead reformatted them. I have not seen many family Bibles
that used semi-colons in the entries.
