JOHN T. DRINKWATER BIBLE PAGES

There are two pages (with two sides each) that I have from John Thurston Drinkwater's family bible, where families would record births, marriages & deaths in their families.  These are a bit difficult to read due to paper damage and ink bleed-throughs, so I've included the text below each page.

page 1: Births
