The Bible comes with a provenance provided by Edna Liddle on a document from the 1950s attesting to the history of the SOMCOX family tracing their origins in New Jersey in 1795 to the birth of Anne Simcox on April 20, 1849. The Bible also contains some of this information handwritten inside as the picture shows.
