Bible Records
|
Here's the first installment. I transcribed it first onto regular paper and could see all the irregular spellings. I will try to write those words in italics and underlined so you know that it isn't a typo of mine. [format lost when converted to HTML] Also I will try to capitalize as these words were written. Also, there were marks like commas after dates, which I'm including. These records have come through my mother's father's family. In transcribing the records, I realized that Abram Cole had married Hanah Devenport one month after his first wife, Marilda, died apparently in childbirth. Interesting. Also, I scanned and attached an envelope mailed in 1897 to a relative, just an FYI. I have yet to figure all these folks out.
More to come in days and weeks.
