The Bible owned by Ebenezer Shaw is now in possession of the Salmon Brook Historical Society, Granby, CT.  It was printed in 1807 by Mathew Carey, No. 122 High Street, Philadelphia, PA. The first seven entries appear to have all been made at the same time, in the same hand, in ink.  The subsequent entries appear to be in the same handwriting but were obviously made separately and at later dates, also in ink. The writer consistently wrote the last three letters of Ebenezer as r with a double underscore. The final four entries were on separate pages, in pencil, using different spelling, for example, Ebenezer is spelled out.
