I am looking for the person who posted or purchased an early to mid 1800s family Bible that references William Scarth Metcalf (b 1839) and Clara Metcalf (nee Budgen, b. 1831) on eBay somewhere between 2007-09. William and Clara had 2 children, Edward and William. Clara passed away in 1871 and William married Jane Hanna Colpitts. I am one their many great grandchildren. I am wondering if you still have the Bible? I would very much like to acquire it for my family or at the very least the genealogical information contained in it. I have the Metcalf family tree back to a source relative by the name of Peabody who died in 1700. There are numerous (too many to count :-)) descendants of William and Jane. If the Bible went to one of them then I would like to know their name so I can trace it back and also to contact them. Regards, Dawn Metcalf |

Oh, sorry about that...And thanks for the welcome. I followed up with Paul Barton. He never had the Bible but had found the bid on eBay and decided to post it on Genes to see if anyone was interested in it. I will continue my search...Thanks again, Dawn |
