[Transcriber’s Note: The birth data on this page was written on another paper and pasted over the actual Bible page. This data was probably rewritten and pasted on to the page where it was originally scribed in order to preserve fading entries, as the wording style is similar, but the handwriting appears to be different. It is possible, that the pasted page may cover other family data.]
