Mazyck Family Bibles
In the Fall 2022 Newsletter, we announced that a member donated a 1712 Mazyck Family Bible. This joined the 1693 Mazyck Family Bible that was already in our collection. Through the generosity of a member, both Bibles are being conserved.
Recently, another member read about the Bibles in the newsletter, and kindly donated her 1849 copy of a Mazyck Family Bible, too. Now we are the proud owners of a 1600s, 1700s, and 1800s Bible for the family!
On the inside cover of the 1800s Family Bible (the most recent edition), there is a note that reads: “To our beloved Nannie and her husband Wm St J. Mazyck we present the Holy Book on their wedding day. Praying that its precepts may be their guide through thy life as they will lead to certain happiness in the life to come.” The note is dated March 20, 1850 and signed by a B. F. Taylor and an S. W. Taylor.
