My grandmother passed away last week. My Aunt had a bible that has been in the family for over 4 generations. Family was originally from Port Gibson. This is a pic of the spine of the Bible. Has anyone seen anything to have any idea what the timeframe could be? It had been through floods and that combined with time made it very brittle. We could find no dates anywhere one it. The markings on the spine where odd for a bible IMO.
Sorry this is the best I could do on the photo.
