Hi Janine --
I do have a family artifact related to this family. I was printing out the obituary to
place with this Bible when I noticed your post. The other poster did not mention being
related.
I have in my possession a family Bible (1806) originally of Noah Butler and his wife
Martha Harison. From what I can tell of the entries, their daughter Maria married Tracy U.
Cadwell and this Bible went through their family.
The first dated inscription is Noah Butler was Born October the 24th 1785 -- but the 1785
is scratched out, The entry below that reads Martha butler [sic] was born januery [sic]
30th 1601 [sic]. You can infer earlier dates from other entries -- Abel Butler Died
Febuery [sic] th 13th 1833 His age was 72.
The last dated family entry is Maria M. Cadwell Died April 10th 1861 her age was 53 years.
However, the inside front cover reads "Mr. Edward H. Cadwell. West Hartford, Conn.
Dec. 18. 1883." Under that, in the same handwriting is "Uriah T. Cadwell".
I run the website Bible Records Online and this Bible was acquired a long yime ago to
populate the site. I am just now inventorying which ones I have, and was doing some basic
research before it gets posted. I would be pleased to scan the pages for you and give you
a peek -- I am known to take a long time to get things posted.
