William JACOBS died at Patterson NJ sep 19 1832 aged 56 years......

The information on the back cover is almost unreadable. Possibly if you knew this family you could hazard a guess. One MIGHT be Margaret WILSON married Ja.... WHITE.

Now inside the bible there are a number of pasted down marriages and death notices. HITCHCOCK has a few and various other names. The one I have pictured which is part of the sewn in page is Patience HILL, dau of Alexander...
