THE ISAAC TRUMBULL BIBLE
The Bible of Isaac Trumble (1808-1849) of Tioga County,
Pennsylvania, was obtained in 1994 from Marty Wade of Monroe, Michigan. Her
father, a lover of old books employed by a paper company in the Detroit area,
rescued the ancient volume from a consignment about to be pulped and recycled
into corrugated carton. There is no known connection between Isaac and any
Michigan Trumble families nor is it known how the Bible might have gotten to
Michigan. The Bible contains valuable genealogical information about a
little-known branch of the family. The inscriptions on the flyleaf might be
interpreted to mean that Isaac Trumble's Bible was passed to his daughter Sarah
and then in turn to Sarah's niece, Anna Young, who may have lived in Midland,
Michigan.
The book measures 8 cm x 17.5 cm, with a well-worn leather
binding. A few magazine clippings, one hand dated 1875, and a small piece of
needlepoint are inserted in the book. [FLYLEAF] [in ink] Isaac Trumble's Book

Dear Joyce,
I was surfing the Web this morning and was delighted to see my transcription of the Isaac Trumble Bible presented so clearly and correctly on your site, <http://www.rootsweb.com/~patioga/bibles/trumbull.htm>. The Bible was a great find for me, and I am pleased to see its contents made available in the area of the country where it might assist some other researchers.
If you wish, you could update my whreabouts and contact information, which are now 2634 Prairie Ave, Evanston, IL 60201, and <trumbullc@comcast.net>.
All best!
Charlie Trumbull
