Are there any other surnames in the Bible? I think you are so thoughtful for sharing this find.

Betty, Thank you for your kind words and for asking about the other surnames. There are a few, but not many. The publication date of the Bible is 1867. Marriages: Judah W. Westcott and Mary L. Chandler Jan. April 17th 1850 Chardon Ohio George A. Hurd and Emma J. Westcott April 21st 1875 Aurora Illinois Charles Willard Westcott and Cora A. Hart Jan 2nd 1884 Births Judah West Westcott Sept 7th 1822 Wiristed [?] Connecticutt Mary Louise Chandler January 13th 18311 [?] Mt. Morris New York Julia Maria Westcott Sept 11th 1851 Squaw Grove Ills Emma Jane Westcott Feb 17th 1855 Aurora Ills Charles Willard Westcott Oct 2 1857 Aurora Ills Minnie Arvillia Westcott Feb 9 per GB 1866 Aurora Ills George A Hurd July 12th 1853 New York City Cor 22nd St + 9 Ave. Deaths Julia Maria Westcott April 17th 1854 Aurora Ills Judah West Westcott Aug 12th 1901 This is everything that is in this Bible. It is 4 inches thick by 9 inches wide by 11 inches tall. It does not have any entries for Clarence Westcott, who is enumerated in the 1900 Census in the household with Judah, Mary, and Charles in Aurora. Census records indicate that Judah, Mary, and Charles Westcott were farming in DeKalb County in 1880. In 1910, Mary was living with Lenard [?] and Minerva Watkins in Aurora, IL, and I have not been able to find a 1910 Census record for Charles. In 1920, Charles was married to someone named Kate and still living in Aurora. By 1930, Charles was married to someone named Annie and was still in Aurora. Near as I've been able to tell, there are no Westcotts in Aurora now, at least not listed in Anywho.com. If this family sounds familiar to anyone, please let me know.
