Transcription notes

All of the entries on the first three pages (except as noted at the end of page 3) appear to have been written by the same person and all at the same time.

On page 3 Anthony refers to Anthony Badgley. He and Mary Bookout were the parents of Elizabeth Wisner. I have no idea what the numbers mean. Anthony was 79 when he died and Mary 67.

The fourth page appears to have been written by the same person as the other entries but at a different time.

The names and dates on the fifth page do not have any relevance to events that I am aware of.

The sixth page I believe was someone calculating the age of death of Marshall W Wisner.

I believe that most of the entries were made by Marshall W Wisner or some other member of his family because the bible was handed down through his line.

I have only photo copies of the bible pages that were sent to me by a cousin who is in possession of the bible.
