exactly where to start and as a result I know where every grave is except
four which were moved and lost. My bible is the first edition of the first
bible ever printed in America. Suggestion I donated one of mine (there were
actually two bibles) to a museum in Pennsylvania along with a brief history
of the family so this info will be preserved for fut
Dear Billie,
