The first name listed is Elisha G. Babcock with her date of birth given as December 1st, 1799. The names and births, marriages and deaths continue well into the mid-1900s in this family bible that was published in 1826 by Daniel D. Smith of New York.
The condition appears to be fairly good, with a few detached pages that are included with the book. According to the seller, the bible was owned by the Swift family of Wiscasset, Maine, and would obviously be a treasure for someone researching the surnames Babcock or Swift in that area.
The eBay Item Number is 300379593228 if you want to take a closer look. As stated, there are several pages of family history, with names and dates written in the margins.
