The Solomon Snow Family Bible
|
The
files of Miss Vivian C Moore (1906-1979), a life-long resident of Franklin
County, Kentucky, contained photocopies of what purports to be a Bible and New Testament originally owned by Solomon Snow (1784-1860). As found, the photocopied bible pages were stapled together and then paper clipped to family group sheets for members of the Snow family. Miss Moore' s notes did not list a source for her copy of these bible excerpts. Handwritten inscriptions on the first of the attached sheets suggest that the Bible was passed down to members of the Brawner and Snow families over the years.
The Bible
pages have been reproduced in the same order as they were found in Miss
Moores files. There are title pages for both a New Testament
