Actual Bible presumed destroyed; only Family Record sheets now in possession
of my parents. Transcription is taken from photocopies of record sheets made
by me in April 1996. The record sheets came to my parents together with the
HEYD Bible. (see transcription of HEYD Bible)
The probable original owners are William and Anna Elizabeth (RICHMOND) VAN
KIRK. These are my great-great-aunt and -uncle; Anna E. was sister to my
great-grandmother, Phebe Jane (RICHMOND) HEYD. My line carries through Jacob
HEYD, Jr. and Phebe HEYD¹s first child, Daisy HEYD, my paternal grandmother.
The sisters, Anna Elizabeth and Phebe, were the daughters of Cornelius
Trimble RICHMOND and Ellen R. (CRISPIN) RICHMOND of the Manayunk area of
Philadelphia, PA.
