-----Original Message----- From: Americus thailes [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, March 07, 2003 7:38 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Bible records of the Davenport Bible Transcription of the vital record information in the Jesse Miller Cowen Bible. The Bible is a leather bound book in used and aged condition. The pages are friable, brittle and sometimes torn. The writing is with a quill pen using ink that ran and soaked into the pages when first written. The transcription is difficult. The best I can do is as follows: The Holy Bible, Edinburgh (Scotland) 1741 Page 2 Michael Davenport his book.
