Family history recorded on the back of an engraving of The Reverend Mr. Sam'l Willard. A
very like engraving appeared in the publication "A Compleat Body of Divinity in Two
Hundred and Fifty Expository Lectures" by Samuel Willard, published in Boston by B. Green
and S. Kneeland, 1726. This engraving differs only in that it has an added pedestal and
other stone work [see scan].
The Bible pages are in the possession of the C. G. Brisee Genealogy Library, Irwin, Iowa,
and formerly owned by Nathaniel Goodwin, Esq. noted New England genealogist.
