MCMULLEN BIBLE Submitted April 1994 by: Anna Joan (Barton) Buxton 6981 Veyaness Road Saanichton, BC V8M 1W1 phone: 250-652-9587 Email: anna@islandnet.com Whereabouts of the original bible unknown, perhaps with a member of the McMullen or Cook Family of Stirling, ON This transcript is taken from five pages of photocopies made for me in 1979, by the COOK family of Stirling, who had borrowed it from another family member for this purpose. Hugh McMULLEN is not my direct line, but was a brother of my great, great grandfather Alexander McMULLEN. They were sons of Stephen McMULLEN of Scottish origins, who was born about 1796 in the USA according to the 1861 census of Rawdon Township, Hastings County, Ontario. Stephen does not appear in the 1871 census.
