DAVIDSON & EDWARDS Family Bible, Virginia & Kentucky

This is from an old family Bible published by Carlton and Phillips of New York in 1852. The Bible belonged originally to a John Davidson who married in 1853 to Mary Ann Edwards.

It must have been passed on to a nephew of Mary Ann named Albert Thornton Edwards as most of the family register deals with his family. There is some early connection with Winchester, Kentucky and Covington, Kentucky but the family settled in Luckinghole, Goochland County, Virginia.

There are births, baptisms, marriages and deaths recorded in the family register and on loose sheets and there are other family clippings and personal items stored within the pages as well.
