 As I typed these for the web page I tried to enter them the way they were orginally written.  The old handwritting was hard to read.  It looked as if there were several different people entering the information into the Bible through the years.  There were several different styles of handwriting.  There were 6 pages.   I apologize if I misentered any information.
