Bible Records
|
|
| We are transcribing these from photocopies of local Bible Records in the
collection of Tioga County Historical Society in Wellsboro. We thank them for
their generosity in making them available to us. Many of the pages we have are
photocopies of photocopies of faded or damaged original pages. As such, they are
often very difficult to read. We have done the best that we can do considering
the poor condition of some of the copies. |
Note from Joyce M .Tice - There is no information in this record to tie
it to our three county area nor to any other. If anyone has further
information on these people please let us know. We are interested in
their geographic location and any link they may have to the area
covered on this site. .
The following family record was found in a copy of a book entitled “The
Gilman Family”, traced in the line of Hon. John Gilman, of Exeter, N.H., with an
account of many other Gilmans in England and America, by Arthur Gilman, A.M.
1869.
The name on the fly leaf is C. G. Hill: which would designate a former owner
of the book.
This book is now in possession of A. William Ladd, of Wellsboro, R.D. #3,
Box 116, Tioga County, Pennsylvania, 16901. The book was purchased from
Roger Harris, North Adams, Mass.
The following was written on a piece of lined tablet paper bearing a water
