From the back cover of an old bible in the Wm. Jandt collection of Edgerton family relicts
[probably written in 2 sittings (1897 and 1914) by Charlotte Judd Davids] Sherry Jandt writes the following in February 2005, in response to a request by Jim Downey : We examined the Bible and found it was published in 1804. The inscription in the front is as follows:
Philadelphia, Christmas 1832 (unable to read 1st initial) W. Brown [probably Calvin Brown] There was no special page anywhere that we could find for family records. We did, however find reference to a book - History of Sudbury, Mass. We do not know if the Bible was part of the things Charlotte received after Emmett passed away or if they were part of her personal possessions. [added later] My apologies, after discussing it we decided that Char got all of Emmett's things when he and wife were placed in a nursing home and the family broke sold the house. |
