I would love to have this Bible! Unfortunately the opening bid is steep. I need to check, but I believe the Sturtz family connects to my husband's family. At any rate, if it did not I am sure that it would connect to others in this area. The Freemans, Friedlines and Pyles are all families in this area. Even if I cannot have it, I will print out the description and give a copy to the Chestnut Ridge Historical Society. Thank you so much for posting the link!
