David Sibert's bible

Excerpt for a letter from Hamilton P. Sibert, written 6 Nov 1959

I found the old David Sibert bible. IT IS NOT FOR SALE OR TRANSFER. It is not written in German. It is an American bible printed in 1825. It has written in large ink letters in the front and in the back, "DAVID SIBERT. HIS BIBLE." There is listed therein the birth dates and dates of death of all of the children that died before David did. Someone entered his date of death. Also date of his wife. Also that David was 79 Yrs 9 mos. old.

The name on this bible is spelled "SIBERT"...

I have been asking you about John Wilmore Sibert, first child of David, born 2-1-1832. Book [Beeson] says died in Ark 5-10-1868 leaving a small family. This death date is in the above bible, but does not show where he died. Wonder how Beeson got the Ark reference? The David Sibert bible lists the forst born on that date, 2-1-1822, as John Wesley Sibert in the first birth date column. In the 2nd column on the same page he is listed as John W and on the death column page he is listed as John W. Wonder how Beeson got the Wilmore? All of the other names tally in succession as now shown in the book. Your "Grannys" name is spelled in two places as "Martha Jain".
