I am a Family Historian / Researcher and have been asked to attempt
to return an old Family Bible that once belonged to Ann (Anna) Carey
Cecil, daughter of William Wirt Cecil and Alidia (Lydia) Carey.
Perhaps someone on this list can help the current owner of the Bible
return it to its rightful owners. Below lists the entries found in
the Bible and was expanded by me using the US Census, California
Birth, Death, Marriage Records, and SSDI.
The Bible was presented by Judge William Wirt (W.W.) Cecil, of Shelby
County, Ohio to his daughter Anna (Cecil) Mark on June 22, 1857. The
first record entries contain all of Ann C. Cecil's immediate family
including her parents and siblings from all of William W. Cecil's
family, then follows all of the Cecil / Mark family line. The Bible
records were well maintained until 1926, and includes the eulogy of
Dr. Isaac N. [Newton] (I.N.) Mark and of Mrs. Ann Eliza Moore, wife
of Thomas Orpnood, d Dec 5, 1860 Circleville, O[hio], of which I
could find no information.
