Dear Listers, There are two family Bibles that are in need of loving homes. 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. Derrickson nee Chandler

I am descended from a John Neal who married a Mary Vance b. ca 1810. I do not know where because according to the various census she was b. in PA, VA and Ireland. I do not know what happened to John but Mary and her 2 sons were living in Allegheny Co., Pa. according to the 1850 Census. Her sons were John b. ca 1839 and William b. ca 1847. Does this match any of your information?
