Griffis Bible

These pages were separated from the Bible, so the
date of the Bible is unknown. It was acquired from a
man in New York who saved the genealogical information
from Bibles that were being thrown away. It looks to be
late 18th century based on the handwriting, dates,
and paper texture.

These pages are very small, about 4"x6".

Abner Griffis was a veteran of the Revolutionary War.
