This is a transcription of the Bates Family Bible, now in possession of the Library of Virginia. Some pieces of pages are missing, and some information is no longer legible. These are noted as (M)=missing section, (I)=illegible word or phrase. I have also attempted to conform to the original arrangement, punctuation and spelling. On all pages but number seven, the dating notation is that used by the Quaker faith. For more information on Quakers, try The Quaker Corner
