Sugg Bible

The New Testament of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ, Boston, Published by R. P. & C. Williams,
No. 2 Cornhill Square, 1818. This is copied from
the NT title page, as the OT and general title pages
are missing. Apparently Hills #355.

This Bible is in poor, old condition and was
obviously heavily used. The front cover is attached
and covered with penmanship exercises of Phesanton
Sugg and Margaret Sugg. The first page is the "To
the Reader" introduction. The last page of the OT
and the reverse of the NT title page are filled with
the genealogy entries. The last page is the end of
Revelations (end of NT) and the back cover is missing.
The spine is in surprisingly good condition.

An entry was excised, leaving a hole in the NT title
page where it was. The pin used to do this (I think)
remains there. I wonder if the missing pages also
contained family information, and were deliberately
removed? All open space remaining in the Bible is
filled with entries, so I suspect those pages were
also well-used. An interesting piece.

Internet research places this family in Edgecombe County,
NC. The dates match those here.
