Smith Family Bible (2)

Owner: William Smith, william.k.smith@centurylink.net
Area: Ontario

Bible History: An 1812 edition printed by S. Russell, Deansgate, Manchester, [England], page size about 10 by 16 inches. Apparently purchased by or given to William Smith, Jr., son of William Smith, Sr., who came to York (Toronto) in 1793 and was an associate of Lt. Gov. Simcoe. Bible was restored and rebound in 1985. I have tried to maintain original spelling; some words are illegible. I have also omitted entries for persons still living.
