Selina Virginia Storm d/o Peter & Harriet Storm
Evidentally they are somehow associated with this family?
Peter's wife Harriet was an Englebrecht?

Also in this bible is a paragraph written by J.Engelbrecht, Frederick MD, Saturday, July 9 1864 at 5 1/2 o'clock pm.
The Rebel army or rather the wagon train and its Cavalry and Infantry Guards passed through Frederick this day - the wagons numbered 300 or 400 - they came first about 6 Ock am. From the west (from Hagerstown) and got through about one O'clock pm. - but still Squads of horsemen of 10.p of 20.b have been passing all the time - Where the main army is at this time, we cannot say - as we are completely isolated and can hear nothing from either point of the compass.Except what the Rebs tell us but on that we cannot depend - we had a small engagement at the west end of the town two days ago (July 7, 1864) - but the Union troops all left here last night. - a few days will let us breathe a little freer - at the same time, I would remark the union people of our own do not appear to be very much alarmed - as we had the whole Rebel Army in our town once before (Sept 6, 1862) - the present Army is Commanded they say by genl, Jubal Early.

I have no idea who this family is and it certainly isn't a surname of mine. I saw it for sale on Ebay and it killed me to see this family history go into a black hole, probably never to be seen again. My Uncle sold our family bible in the 1960s (300 years of recorded history), gone forever probably. So, I've tried to transcribe the best I can from photographs. Hope something here helps someone someday.
