Teresa: You might consider donating them to the Nabb Center at Salisbury University. It would ensure you that they are getting professionally stored and can benefit a large audience of folks for years to come - not to mention it would be a tax deductible exchange. I am Secretary for Nabb's Board of Directors and can facilitate such an exchange if you were interested. Whatever you decided to do, it is very heartening to see that you are foreseeing the need to preserve them. Also, I am working with John Lyon to bring Sussex patents and land records into his fabulous database. The Parsons, and especially the Neal, families figure prominently in our late additions to that database!

The current owners are not interested in them and would like to see them with someone or some group that would find them useful. These Bibles are: 1) The Parsons Family. First entry in births is Ebenezer Parsons, born in 1814. The text is in good condition with the binding still intact. Entries for births, deaths and marriages are in lovely, legible handwriting. This family lived in the Broad Creek Hundred, near Gumborough in 1850. 2) The Neal Family. This is the family of John Neal with entries dating in the mid to late 1800's. It is LARGE, binding falling off, entries beginning to fade. This family lived around the Seaford area. They are not up for sale, just needing a place to reside. Any suggestions on where they could find a good home would be appreciated. Thank you. Teresa A.
