Joyce's Search Tip - January 2008 Do You Know that you can search just the Bible Records on the site by using the Bibles button in the Partitioned search engine at the bottom of the Current What's New Page?

The bible pages were torn from the bible itself at some time in the past, and are presently owned by Alpha Gillespie, of Flint, Michigan. Material in brackets [ ] added by the transcriber and not part of the original record.

Page 1, "Family Record, Marriages"

Clayton BROWN & Sarah Jane, HILDRITH [sic] married May 23rd 1842

Sarah Jane Brown			Clayton Brown
Born Sept. 22, 1821			Born Apr. 9, 1813
Died Sept. 7, 1878			Died Jan 9, 1887

[Transcriber's note: Both Clayton and Sarah Jane are reported on census records as born in New York, Clayton probably in Tioga County, New York and Sarah Jane probably in Minisink, Orange County, New York. The wedding probably took place in South Creek, as that was the location of the marriage of Sarah Jane's sister, Susan Corey Hildreth, to Clayton's brother, Charles Brown, in December 1843, as reported in the Elmira Gazette for 4 January, 1844. Sarah Jane (Hildreth) Brown died in Mundy Township, Genesee County, Michigan and Clayton Brown in Cedar Township, Antelope County, Nebraska.]

The following information, on two small sheets of lined paper, appears to have been kept with the above bible records. Births are listed on one sheet, deaths on the same line on the second sheet. The corner of sheet 1 has been torn off, so that the year of birth for Daniel is missing.

[All the children were probably born in Minisink, Orange County, New York]

Another old record of the Hildreth births was apparently copied from the record above. This sheet was among the papers of Sepha Coquigne Tupper, the second daughter of Emmanet (Brown) Coquine, a daughter of Sarah Jane (Hildreth) Brown. This passed to Sepha Tupper's niece, Jennie Hildreth (Waterous) Vincent, and is now in the possession of the transcriber. This duplicates all the above Hildreth birthdates, but shows a complete birth date for Daniel Hildreth as January 3rd 1787.
