Hall Family Bible Records

 HALL FAMILY BIBLE RECORDS

Me with my grandmother, Ella Hall Llewellyn at their Indian Lake cottage in the Pocono Mountains about 1955.

Family Bibles can be good sources of information about family history. My maternal grandmother, Ella Hall Llewellyn, had her Hall family Bible. Among my mother’s personal effects were copies of the family record pages from it. You can see my grandmother’s handwriting on the most recent entries with her four children and her marriage. This takes the Hall family line back to 1780 at the birth of what appears to be Jesse Williams, son of Richard and Sarah Williams on the last page. So this document should be shared with us descendants who are interested to know our roots and for anyone else who has an interest in discovering the members of our family history. Of course the best part is beyond these pages, the Bible text itself! I have no idea who presently has this old family Bible. Nor am I aware of what happened to the Llewellyn family Bible.
