Holy Bible in English; Publication information unknown.

The Family Bible of the Watkins family of Radnor, Ohio. The entries start with

to pass down to his son John W. and to his son William J. Only the Family
Register pages and other family documents survive, the location of the rest of
the Bible is unknown. Some of the writing is very faint and will not show up in
the scans.

The Bible is now in the possession of the C. G. Brisee Genealogy Library,
