This Bible record is invaluable in establishing that the David O. is the son of William C. Turrell, early settlers in Susquehanna county, PA. Further research has led to the strong possibility that the parents of William C.⁶ Turrel are Caleb⁵ (Caleb⁴, Daniel^3-2, Roger¹) and Eunice Cogswell, who were m. 27 Jan 1768 in New Milford, and that the maiden of William's wife, Esther, is Olmstead. For the research on this line, see "William C. Turrell Ancestry Search" on this site.

A copy of this Bible record came into the transcriber's possession many years ago. Coincidentally, a query on Genforum by Gordon Sheill, dated 23 September 2000, indicated that he was in possession of this family Bible and record. His grandfather came into possession of the Bible but the connection to the family is unclear. Unfortunately, the contact given for Gordon Sheill is no longer valid. Apparently, the Bible passed from William C. Turrel's family to daughter Catharine (Turrel) Hickox's family, as a first step (see link in paragraph above for further explanation).
