Brocklebanks. Plainfield/meriden, NH
Hi folks. I have an old book that was passed down to me from my great grandfather to me. It's an old bible from 1823. I am not a descendant of Brocklebanks, but I wanted to share the info written in it with all of you. Written in the back in very old ink is the following;
Napoleon Brocklebank, born April 4 - 1819
Charles Brocklebank, born October th 18 - 1820
Hiram Brocklebank, born April 19 - 1825
James (or Jane. writing is run together) born February 11 -1829
There is some kind of message written on the inside of the rear cover. I have a hard time making it all out/understanding what is being said. Bold words are the ones I'm unclear on;
"The MANX got mad and I am glad SO he did on the 2(?) day of april."
Well thats it. I thought I'd just share it.
