This is an alert for Cattaraugus county researchers that someone is selling a HUGHES, LEWIS, & WILLIAMS family (of Cattaraugus county) Bible on Ebay. I have no other information and know nothing about the seller. Please pass this along to any other Cattaraugus researchers you know who might be interested. Laura ================= Below is the description: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250100754248&ssPageName=A DME:B:SS:US:1 Item number: 250100754248 Antique 1842 Family Bible Illustrated Geneology Leather Description >From a local estate, this is an antique leather 1842 family bible: "The Holy Bible...Old And New Testaments,,,Together with The Apocrypha...Published And Sold By H & E Phinney...Sold Also By L. Tiffany, Utica...Cooperstown N.Y." Approx 1000 pages, with beautiful woodcut engravings. The family record sections are filled in with a family Geneology that starts in 1810 and goes all the way up to 1963. The familys appear to be of Welsh descent: the names are Lewis, Williams, Hughes Etc. Included are Kuffin Lewis born 1820 (married Eleizabeth(, William Henry Lewis born 1843, Jane Elizabeth Lewis born 1847, John Hughes born 1850, Thamao Newton Hughes born 1854, Hariett Louise Hughes born 1856, Hughes Hughes born 1840, Robert Williams born 1856, Carlos D.

Also included is a legal Will (see last picture), dating from 1894 concerning the estate of David J. Williams, from Cattaraugus County N.Y. The family appears to have been from Western New York, Pittsburgh P.A. is mentioned also. The bible is in pretty good condition for its age: the binding is solid (no loose pages), the front cover is only slightly attatched to the spine, the pages are white with varying degrees of foxing throughout, some occasional creases, little in the way of tears etc.
