Nevertheless, there was a Mulford Family Bible that passed into my mother's possession. Unfortunately, that bible no longer exists. Long, tragic story that I can't share. But I do have a surviving extract from that Bible for what it may be worth:

Even if a relative never married and left no children, I sometimes do a little bit of research and share a bit about them. I feel like I'm doing a good thing by remembering those who don't have direct descendants to remember them. For example I wrote about my 2nd great grand aunt and her husband who had no children at From Maine to Kentucky.
ReplyDeleteTrue. I have a few people in my great grandmother's Bible who had no children and I write about them. There are quite a few people I'm trying to remember because no one else will.
