    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/HBRBAIB/1384 Message Board Post: Last October I posted a message stating that I had recently found a 1743 bible that belonged to Abiah Sweet Gardner, wife of Resolved Gardner, and daughter of Elnathan Sweet. I stated the following: 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. Since then I found that the bible is actually a 1793 & 1794 bible. An old notation near the date read the numerals incorrectly. I received four inquiries, and as yet I have not sent copies to anyone. I have copies now, and will contact those who answered the e-mail before, and enyone else who is interested. I have not found a home for the bible either. 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
