Bible transcribed by Pam Miller Hendricksen, [email protected] - The title page is in poor condition. Words which are questionable are in brackets.

There are a number of earlier notations prior to the McCallum notations. It is not yet known if this was a used bible when the McCallum's started using it, or whether these people are in some way related. On a badly worn page, I can read the following:
"______ was born April <4 01>____

I have no idea who the Dinsey/Warner/Tyler family is or where they were living.
