Littell Bible from Altay, NY (Schuyler County)

The eBay seller wrote that the names in the Bible are "Mary, Benjamin, Sarah, Rebecca, Catharine, Garid, Harvy, Moses, Ansyl and more." From the same seller tonight, there are legal documents with the names of Clarance and David Littell also being sold.
According to the "Littell Families History and Genealogy," David S. Littell was born 1819 in Altay, NY and died Jan 22, 1887. By second wife Elizabeth Taylor, he had Anna (b. 1861), David F.(b. 1865) and Clarence D. Littell (b. 1877). I am assuming that this David and Clarence are the ones referenced in the legal papers listed for sale.
(Again, I have no stake in this auction; just hope the Bible makes its way to a descendant.)
