Old Titcombe family bible
A bookseller in Stamford, CT in the USA had a Titcombe family bible which is from the Titcombes of Newburyport, Massachusetts and Portland, Maine. It was published in 1843, and has the family genealogy inside filled out from about 1700's to 1890.
It also mentions one family member who died by falling from the masthead of a ship in 1808!
Bible is now sold.
