Surnames: Sweet, Gardner Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/HBRBAIB/1347 Message Board Post: I recently found a 1743 bible that belonged to Abiah Sweet Gardner, wife of Resolved Gardner, and daughter of Elnathan Sweet. The front cover is missing, but the genealogy is intact, although tatteed. The bible contains the chain of ownership to 1919, as well as a record of the children of Abiah Sweet and her husband Resolved Gardner. The first entry says "Elnathan Sweet gave this bible to his daughter Abiah Gardner 2nd(?)mo 1796 which she gives to her daughter Ann Gardner 5 mo 1826". The chain of ownership lists decendants through the line of Ann. I would like to reunite this bible to a family member, preferably someone who is a direct decendant of Elnathan and Abiah. Please contact me if you are interested, or if you know of someone who is interested. My mother was a Gardner, but not of this lineage. Which was the reason I acquired it in the first place. I can also make xerox copies of the genealogy for those who would like one. Carl Moses
