    3. Being auctioned off on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/RARE-ANTIQUE-FAMILY-BIBLE_W0QQitemZ6548360617QQcategoryZ29223QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem printed in 1868: "RARE ANTIQUE FAMILY BIBLE Full leather binding- all original.Harding's superfine edition. The Holy Bible containing the old and new testaments. Translated out of The Original Tongues, and with the former translations diligently compared and revised; together with marginal references. Apocrypha, Concordance and Psalms. The text conformable to the Oxford edition, and the American Bible Society's Standard of 1816. Philadelphia: William W. Harding. 1868. Tissue guard present. Family history section containing marriages, births, and deaths. Surnames: Weed, Bragg, Isbell, Greenburg. 12x10 inches, 3 inches thick. Front cover and first page are included, but need to be rebound. Two large metal clasps adorn the side of the Bible." I contacted the person selling this Bible and asked what was the earliest Isbell data it contained. The Isbell entries are just very recent: Marriages: Patricia E. Bragg and Richard Allen Isbell April 29, 1966 Births: Kelly Dee Isbell born December 20, 1966 at 7:30pm. "Isbell" is the latest entries. Some of the (other) entries go back to 1855.
