• THE OLD NEWBY BIBLE.

Introducing hitherto unpublished notes on the following named New York Immigrants: Newby, Atkinson, Stanwix, Waddell, Darling, Idington, McGrabie, Slee, Brown, Gillespie and Breakey,¬together with original data concerning the co-related Moulthrop, Stewart, Mitchell, Everhard and Maltby Families. The bible is a large, well-preserved, leather-bound volume, quarto edition, printed by Matthew Carey of Philadelphia, in 1810, and in-scribed: "Presented to Father and Mother by Christopher, 1813" The "Father and Mother" were Robert Newby, b. England, 1755; d. in Poughkeepsie, N. Y., 30 Nov.,18, ac. 87, and Isabella Atkin¬son, his wife, b. England, 30 March, 1755,; d. Kenoza Lake (Pike's Pond), N. Y., 3, Jan., 1830. "Christopher," the donor, was their son, b. England, 7 Jan., 1791 ; d. 22 April, 1815, Poughkeepsie, N. Y. The book is now in possesion of their descendant, Wirt Newby Moulthrop (Isabella Eliza Newby (William-Robert) ; Gideon Moul¬throp (Nathan-Jude-Joseph-John-Matthew-Matthew, of New Haven, 1638)), of Kenoza Lake, N. Y. A log of the Newby immigration from the land of his ancestors and settlement in the New World is recorded on the inside cover of the bible, written in the clear, well-formed hand of Robert Newby, with a care and exactitude indicating his purpose of laying a founda¬tion for permanent family record: "Left England, from the County of Westmoreland and Township of Preston "Rich" 21st April, 1797." "Sailed from Liverpool, loth May, 1797." "Arrived at Philadelphia, 18th July, 1797." "Sailed for New York, 27th August, 1797." "Sailed for Poughkeepsie, 4th April, 1803." "Settled at Windsor, Broome County, New York, 24th April, 1817."
