Hello Nikki, Bible sounds interesting. Is there anything more on the CLARK(e)s from Stratford, CT? Are Parents listed for Isabella Elizabeth Clarke? Any Siblings? Thank you.

Hope it helps someone. Nikki > > "Antique Bible. Boies Pemrose Family. 1823. Published in New York in 1823. Label on back cover says: J.S. Boies 4 Otis Place. Both front and back covers are present but are not attched to the book. Purchased at an Estate Auction - Starting bid is what I paid for it. Hoping to return it to family. > It appears this bible was started in the Boies Family then passed to the Pemrose family through marriage. Some information from bible: > Jeremiah Smith Boies son of James and Elizabeth Boies born in Milton, Massachusetts 27th March 1762. > Sarah Hannah Boies daughter of Joseph and Isabella Elizabeh Clarke born in Stratford Connecticut 1st Jan 1762 > Married in Braintree 8th Nov 1785. > Record lists their son Jeremiah, his marriage and children. (Birth, Death Date and Burial Spot are listed for all the above). The Second Jeremiah's daughter Sarah Hannah Boies married Richard Alexander Fullerton Pemrose MD (Son of Charles B. Pemrose, Esq & Valina F. Biddle). A page in the bible lists their children's birth and baptism. As well as the dates of their illnesses. ex: Measels, Chicken Pox. There is even a reference to one of the children losing part of his finger in an accident at Saratoga Springs NY. Dr. Richard Pemrose continued that family records after the death of his "Idolized" wife in 1881. He has a 1/2 page entry about his wife's death that would make anyone tear up. He added pages into the bible with his parents and siblings records. The last dates recorded were in 1901 and 1902. Some of the names mentioned: Bingham, Hubbard, Fullerton, Thomas." > > > ==== CLARKE Mailing List ==== > Message Boards > Clarke & Clark > click on "Add Board To Notifications" & you'll receive notices of new posts > click on "Links & Announcements" for other email lists & links > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=surnames.clarke > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec?htx=board&r=rw&p=surnames.clark >
