Miscellaneous

I have a handwritten sheet of paper that appears to have possibly been copied from a bible; however, I do not know who generated it. Maybe someone knows where it came from, and what family it pertains to.

At the top there are two arrows pointing to Jacob & Polly and it says "Grate Grand Father & Mother."
