I don't know what happened to it. Also, his sister Sarah (Bowen) Rasey (or Razey ) had a bible with infomation too, but I don't know which of her descendants have it. The obit you mentioned, who's was it? I would love a copy if you can send one. I have many obits I can send you as well. My research was helped by living in Cattarugus County not far from Mansfield.
