After Eli died the family moved to Quincy in Adams County, Illinois. James was born in 1869 in Illinois. I don't know if this is the same James as your ancestor. Margaret's maiden name was Newland if that helps. Other childrens names were Caroline, Elizabeth, William, Thomas (my ggrandfather), John, Sarah, Mary, Luceus, Anna, and Rosella. I don't believe our line, (from Thomas), has the bible you are speaking about. When my aunt Clara Hudson Doran passed on I inherited her box of genealogy notes and papers and there wasn't a Bible included. I am going in the next couple of weeks to visit my Aunt I will ask her if she has heard of it. Jessica Hudson Wentzloff
