Family Bibles Lost and Found Part I

Family Bibles are fun when you do find them.  They never seem to hold the answers you want, but you do get information that exists nowhere else.  I have three family Bibles that have helped me, none of which I own.

• The Heard/Hayes Bible is the oldest of the Bibles and one of the few family Bibles of which I know that contains a 17th century birth.  I wrote an article on this Bible, basically outlining the people mentioned therein.  I also noted that despite the fact my 6th great-grandfather Reuben Heard owned the Bible originally he failed to put his own marriage date or wife's name in it.  His bad--my loss.  
• The Pinkham Bible once owned by Thomas Pinkham 1752-1820 was copied into his Revolutionary War Pension papers.  
• The Martin Bible once owned by James Martin 1759-1842 was graciously copied and the information given to me by a cousin.

Additionally, there were a few others of more recent vintage I was able to look at and use (but don't own), including the Kinmond Family Bible.

I am a descendant of Reuben Heard and his wife, through their daughter Lydia. Does the bible mention her? I would love to read the transcript you made, but that post is not here on your blog anymore. my email is persiaguy@gmail.com
