I noticed in the estate sales of some of my Brethren ancestors that the family Bible was sold at the sale - and they were very pricey - sometimes that most costly item. Generally purchased by one of the sons. This was in the late 1700s and early 1800s. After that, in the 1850s, no Bible was listed in the estate inventory or sales. Is there a Brethren custom about which child gets the family Bible upon the death of the parents? Like oldest son, oldest daughter, etc? Thanks, Roberta Estes
