Additional Page

This appears to have been written on a single sheet of ruled notepaper in the same hand as the bible entries. Many of these entries document events that took place before Samuel was born or while he was a very young child. A reasonable assumption is that these events were copied from an earlier document, perhaps his father's Bible. There have been differing opinions over the individuals documented in the first three deaths. My opinion is that they were children of the first Nicholas. We know from census records that the first Nicholas had a large number of children although we have name proof for only Henry and Nicholas. If these entries were copied from the Bible of the second Nicholas, it is reasonable to conclude that he would have recorded the deaths of his siblings.
