Family Bible with Records of Alfred Bullock and Wife Hannah (Rimer) Bullock


Section of a Bible with Family Record pages containing information on the family of Alfred Bullock and wife Hannah (Rimer) Bullock, who were married on February 10, 1825.

The Bible is approximately 10-3/4" by 8-1/2" inches and was published in Cooperstown, New York, in 1823.  The section still with the Records pages measures a bit over a 1/2" thick.



Bear in mind that the dates entered on the Records pages may have been entered by someone relying on memory or secondhand information, so may or may not be reliable.  That said, the handwriting is definitely of the style of the early 1800s.

An enlargement of the Marriages page:


According to information gleaned online, it appears that Alfred and Hannah were natives of the State of New York. They lived in Orange County, New York, for at least part of their lives and are buried in the Laurel Grove Cemetery at Port Jervis, New York.

Note: Two different birth dates are shown for Alfred Bullock.   Below, the left of the facing Births pages.  Click on an image to enlarge it.
