As of May 22, 6pm the price is $17.00; 4 bids have been placed; 4 days remain. Hope it stays in the family. I've been most curious about the surname Russel but I have not yet found a link to my family in Otsego Co., NY (Houghton/Dunham/Burnside/Cass.) There are many photographs of bible pages but I cannot read those that show the handwritten history of the family otherwise I'd have them posted here. It seems quite possible that this is off a Russell family in New York State.

Seller's description:
This early family Bible comes to us from an old Chenango county, NY estate sale. The title page and first 10 pages of the Bible are missing making it difficult to give an exact date of printing but this style of Bible was published in the early 1840s. The rest of it is complete and intact, including the family record portion of the Bible...though those records are somewhatg damaged. We note records of the birth of William Russell on Sept 5th, 1773... Margaret Russell on March 9, 1784... Jeremiah Russell Jan 26, 1786... We also see records of the births of Benjamine Flowers in 1799 and Joanne Flowers in 1799... death records are in the 1840s to the 1860s and later.
