This bible was donated to PrenticeNet by the Carroll County Genealogical Society (of Carroll Co., MD)
Holy Bible, Old and New Testaments, printed in Philadelphia in
1860. Includes many pages of hand-written records. It looks
like it was given to Henrietta Driggs by her grandmother (Reed).
Henrietta Driggs was married to Andrew Morgan Prentiss (#280),
son of Henry James (#203) and Sarah Prentiss. Henry was the son of
Henry (#103) and Mary Prentiss. There are records that go back to
Henry and Mary (aparently pages from other bibles). Henry was the
son of Joshua (#52) and Grace. Joshua was the son of Joshua (#21),
mentioned above. Joshua was the son of Henry (#9), who was the son
of Solomon (#3), who was the son of Henry (#1).
