Reverend George Edward Calvert's Family Oral History

The Holy Bible [“Ancestry/Family Record (page between the Old and New Testaments} of Robert Calvert, my father, dated 1922.  Quite obviously he copied it from a Bible of an earlier generation, and then in subsequent years {“Later:”} added additional information.
