I would like to connect with someone who has information about the "BELVILLE Family Bible." I found a post to DE-Newcas List which refers to that record. I can connect BELVILLE of St George's Hundred to many old Colonial families in several Mid-Atlantic states. Thomas BELVILLE is my ancestor; glad to share info from our family records and my working notes. Posting Re: CLARK, in DENEWCAS-List archives for Sun, 9 Feb 2003 mention a "BELVILLE Famiily Bible." See that post here: http://listsearches.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/ifetch2?/u1/textindices/D/DENEWCAS+2003+8482808900+F It has this notation: "Belville Family Bible: Thomas Belville, a well-known citizen of Odessa, then Cantwell's Bridge in St. George's Hd., was buried in Old Drawyers Cemetery. His tombstone: b. May 8, 1790, d. March 15, 1823, son of John and Margaret. Wife Sarah Wood, b. March 9, 1785, d. May 15, 1863. Deputy Sheriff, NCC. Children: Sarah married Isaac Clark." Would anyone know where I can find more information about this bible? Thomas BELVILLE is my 4th great-grandfather. Here is further info; please post or mail me. John BELVILLE married Margaret BIDDLE. Their son, Thomas BELVILLE and his wife, Sarah WOOD, had a daughter, Margaret Elizabeth BELVILLE. She married Curtis Bennet ELLISON of Burlington, NJ. Curtis Bennet ELLISON and Margaret BELVILLE raised a large family. They lived in Glasgow, Pencader Hundred. Their daughter, Mary Frances ELLISON (1839-1928), married Spencer Sewell HOLTEN (1836-1923). This family lived in Pencader Hundred, probably Odessa/Middletown area. Near the edge of St george's Hundred. Our HOLTEN / HOLTON family connects to the old DALE family of Somerset/Worcester Counties, Maryland --also emigrated 1680's. I would like to find others from these families. Have info to share. I hope Debbie, who posted the Clark family info which contained the notation of the BELVILLE bible is still active; I am very interested in working with desc of these families. Thank you, Liz J
