The
Family
Bible
of
Hannah
MARKHAM
Hannah's
daughter
Elizabeth
MARKHAM
married
Robert
KNIBBS
c1866
in
the
Woodstock
District
of
Oxfordshire,
England.
I
believe
Hannah
was
the
first
owner
of
this
Bible
which
has
passed
down
through
the
family. It
has
the
date
Feb
1834
stamped
inside
the
front
cover.
The
names
and
dates
above
Hannah's
name relate
to
a James Cother, his
wife
Sarah
and
daughter
Emma. We're not sure of the connection but know that there were farmers
named Cover living in the same area. There was no known family connection,
so we suspect it was a working relationship between the two families.
The
names
on
the
second
page
refer
to
the
marriage
of Hannah's grandson
James
KNIBBS
to
Sarah
CASEBROOK,
and
the
birth
of
her
great-granddaughter
Phillys
Eveline
to
another
of
her
grandsons,
George
Levi
KNIBBS.
I
suspect
that
these
latter
entries
were
made
after
Hannah
had
died.
