Belding Family Bible

Date: [unknown]
Location: West Bloomfield, Michigan, USA
Surname/tag: Belding, Howard, Loche, Mills, Ranney

Discovered among the books in Eileen Kolos's library after her death, she likely purchased it at some point when antique shopping. Jan Lovell gave it to Melanie Pohl who began to research the family recorded within it in hopes of reconnecting it with a genealogically interested descendant.

The book was published in 1847 and the first listings in each family record section pertain to Pierce Ann and Ansel Belding and their children. Older records are written on the right-hand column and represent Ansel's family of birth.

The record makes no mention of William Belding's second marriage to Priscilla Howard (although her dates of birth and death are listed) or of Charles M. Belding's first marriage to Celia Donley (which ended in 1880 with her death).
