Ross Bible

This Bible was submitted by Tom Gaard (Gaardt@aol.com). It was transcribed by him and is in his possession. Various Internet sources put this family around Massachusetts.

"I purchased an 1829 Bible in an antique store a couple of years ago. It is leather bound and in very good shape. The first page of births includes the Ross family. The second page of births includes the Davis family. Hannah Ross married Bemsley Davis. The second page includes the family of Edwin Davis, the son of Hannah and Bemsley."
