Thanks to John at Transylvanian Dutch who originated the Amanuensis Monday meme, providing a framework (and nudge) for transcribing family records, news clippings and other treasures.
Last September I photographed and transcribed a family record found in an 1832 Bible belonging to a great-granddaughter of Leonard and Elizabeth Jamison Smith of Allegany County, Maryland. This is the second part of the transcription.
The following material appears on a right page opposite the above page near the back of the Bible:

Transcriber’s notes:
The writing for this entry differs from the entries up to and including “Joseph”.
The record includes a hand drawn vertical line on the second page separating the Births and Deaths columns.
