Taylor, Marll, Lawrence Family Bible

I found this great old Family Bible up for sale on Ebay Item number: 220295858759. The front cover of the bible has the initials........ E.P.R. TAYLOR

One page is from another bible entirely. It is in rough shape, missing pieces and tape; yet contains some wonderful old birth and death dates on Rebecca's side of the family. On this page....the loose page

The first is Joseph Marll/ Marl or MARLE (as the name seems to have been used in at least these forms) His death is recorded as 1807 age 58 so his birthdate would be 1749 ish.

Elizabeth MARLL the wife of Joseph MARLL deparated this Life the 27th of July at half past 1 oclock 1793.

Then there is a list of all the children.

John their eldest son born the 16th of.......................
Rebecca (our heroine) the eldest daughter born Oct 13th.....................(1780)
David the second son
Elizabeth their second daughter
Hannah their third daughter....
