Introduction

The following transcript is made from photographs of 4 pages titled "Family Record" that appear to be from a large family Bible. I also have use of a transcript of the McIntire records sent by Bible's owner, though there is an omission which I fixed in my version below. There are two collections of family records, in different inks, but both written on the same pages. The older collection is the family of Samuel McIntire and Rebecca Hershey of Washington, D.C. The newer collection covers a couple of generations of the family of Mary Ann Inglehart who married James Quackenbush and then Nathan Campbell Strong, who lived in Michigan and later California. Based on my research, these two families do not appear to be related. It is possible that the Bible was sold by Samuel's widow, his second wife Ruth Lord, to cover some of his debts when he died, since the newer collection starts very soon after the date of his death in 1827.

The Bible's owner reports that it was rebound, and parts of the pages are not visible. The page numbers refer to the page numbers printed on the actual Bible page. I have added punctuation and formatting in an attempt to make this clearer, but the spelling and wording are as accurate as I can make it. The older, McIntire collection, will be emboldened to differentiate it from the other records, as it is the focus of my research. In some places, a modern hand and ink appears to have transcribed faded writing which is no longer readable. These parts are shown as italics.
