* The Bible from which the above quoted family records were copied was published
in 1739 in London, England, and was originally the Family Bible of William Hunt of
Tarrytown, in the town of Greenburgh, Westchester County, N.Y. Greenburgh was
formerly a part of Philipse Manor and was known as Philipsburgh. The Bible came
down to William Hunt, Junior, son of the first owner, and then to Ann Eliza Hunt
(daughter of William Hunt, Junior), who married Bartholomew Gedney of White
Plains on Dec. 22, 1830. Gedney Hall the homestead of Bartholomew and Ann Eliza
(Hunt) Gedney was destroyed by fire in the spring of 1898, but the Hunt Bible, then
in the possession of Batholomew Gedney, Junior, was saved and about that time was
given to the present owner, Elizabeth Gesner (Horton) Coles, wife of Selleck Everett
Coles, who is a grand-daughter of the late Bartholomew Gedney, Senior, and a
daughter of his daughter Mary Elizabeth Gedney who married William Horton, also
of White Plains.
