Hi Joyce, I was visiting your website and noticed your fantastic collection
of Tri-counties bibles. I would like to share our family records
to your collection. We obtained a copy of the Revolutionary War Pension
Application of Absalom Cary and his bible record was included. A piece
of a second bible was also in this pension. Although the Nathaniel
and Sarah Cooley did not live in Chemung Co, their daughter Temperance
was the wife of Absalom Cary...both lived and died in Chemung.

Cary - Cooley Bible
Bible Record of Absalom Cary from his Am. Rev. War Pension File.
Surnames in this record:
CARY / CAREY
COOLEY
Note: Absalom CARY and his wife Temperance Cooley were both said to
be born in Orange Co, NY. The family moved to Chemung Co, NY c1820 where
they died and are buried in the Old Dry Brook Cemetery. This old
cemetery is sadly neglected; the old pioneer tombstones are sinking,
disintegrating and disappearing. Most or all of the children of Absalom
and Temperance Cary were born in Orange County and several moved to Chemung.
Nathaniel and Sarah (CARPENTER) COOLEY were also of Orange Co, NY. This
record is a transcript of a single page in the pension file. It was handwritten
and was probably entered into Absalom Cary's pension file c1893.
The odd statement in this record, "leaf of the New Testament, torn apart"
suggests that this record was made from 2 separate bibles and that one
was only partially included in the pension
file. It is possible that someone else may have/find the remaining
pieces of the page of Nathaniel COOLEY's bible record. The following
is
a transcript from the papers in the Revolutionary War Pension Application
of Absalom Cary:
Bible Record of Absalom Cary from his Am. Rev. War Pension File.
"Copy of the family record of Absalom and Temperance (COOLEY) CAREY
on file with their pension
papers, the originals (two pieces of paper) having been returned to
