↑ Henry Grafton Dulany & Mary Eliza "Ida" Powell Family Bible Records, 1855-2023, The Holy Bible (New York: American Bible Society, 1854), "Oakley servants"; privately held by Joseph Roby, [ADDRESS FOR PRIVATE USE,] Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 2023. Passed down through Henry & Ida Dulany's son Henry Rozier Dulany, his son Henry Rozier Dulany, Jr., his son Benjamin Weems Dulany, then to his daughter [living], then to her cousin, Joseph Roby. Most of the family records in the bible are in different handwriting and inks, however the two pages with the "servants" names are in the same handwriting and ink. Because of the dates, handwriting, and known facts, it is probable that Ida Powell Dulany wrote those two pages of names c. 1860.
