Surnames: Sweet, Gardner Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/HBRBAIB/1385 Message Board Post: In October of last year I posted a message 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 as follows: 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. Subsequently I found that the actual date of the bible is 1793. An old notation had interpreted the date incorrectly. I received four inquiries regarding the Bible. I now have copies of the bible and will respond to the inquiries I received as well as any new ones. Please contact me if you are interested, or if you know of someone who is interested. I still have not found a home for the bible either. 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
