The following abstract was made by
Daniel H.
Burrows of Otisville, NY on 9 June 1996 from
a
Bible that was purchased by Helen M. Benjamin
many years ago. All bible entries are verbatim.
Found in a Woolsey Family Bible measuring about
8
1/2 by 11 inches with no date of publication,
however a date of Sep 2 1817 is written in
a margin
and it appears all the births recorded before
that date
were entered at the same time whiles those
afterwards are in a different hand:
