Research Notes

The family bible referenced below records the births, deaths marriages of only Jesse Johnson, his wife Hannah Johnson (does not say Hadley or give her maiden name), their daughter Hannah and her two sons Enos Johnson and Matthias Johnson, with their spouses and children. Hannah was the last child born to her parents, could it be that they got a new bible and started with her birth and her descendants?
