Dear Yolanda,

Thanks for your email and for sharing your great find!

I am aware of the Petrie name. There were a few Petries who married into the Sixberry/Sixbury line (married siblings of my ancestor's children) of my family tree. I would be curious to know the full names/dates from the Petries in the bible. I have not heard of the other names.

Sincerely,

Paul Kelly

Dear Mr. Kelly,

Several years ago I visited Watertown New York and bought an old bible in a sale at the Black River Library.

I had wondered if any family members of the March family to whom this bible appears to have belonged were still living. I was given your post on a Jefferson County web page and found some familiar names.

The Bible is small leather bound book "English Versoin of the Polygott Bible" dated 1832. That would make it a little over 170 years old if my math is right. The wonderful part about it is that it has some ink and pencil entries by what appears to be two persons listing the names and bith dates of the March family. Some of the names in the bible are as follows.

Jeremiah March, Betsy, Jane, Charles a Sally and a Louise
some surnames are March, Petrie, or Tetrie, and Jonson and Linsatruth as best that I can read them. Are these folks your family and could you tell me something about them?

I hope you can provide me with some information and I hope to hear from you soon. Thank you for your time.

Regards
YL Ouellette
