(FAMILY BIBLE LISTING SLAVE BIRTHS)
"A rather large approximately 1,100pp., family Bible of the Neeld family from Kentucky, published by Carey and son, Philadelphia in 1818 and listing family members' births and deaths. Interestingly, there are two entries for the births of slaves under the death category for family records. They read: ""Amanda Easton Born the 18th day of April 1824."" ""James Easton was Born September the 11 1821."" A later but definitely nineteenth century notation indicates that these people were slaves. An extremely scarce slave item. Covers are loose with heavy staining throughout, else good." 2475 A rather large approximately 1,100pp., family Bible of the Neeld family from Kentucky, published by Carey and son, Philadelphia in 1818 and listing family members' births and deaths.
