Email from a descendant of the subject, 2 Jul 2012, gmail-genealogy-inbox, 2012-07-02 message (lake/raw/gmail-genealogy-inbox/2012-07-02-family-history-138468a54bff9f58.txt). So we have this really old family bible(dated 1872), my (several greats) grandparents John and Esther Morrill were the ones who put their marriage on the front page(I don’t know what it’s called, like a marriage certificate kind of), they listed their children on the births page, the deaths on the death page and their childrens wedding days on the memory page. So far I have found my great grandmother Hattie Permelia Ipson(married to Joseph Ipson) her father was John Morrill(see above) whose father is Laban Morrill, then Abner Morrill, then Laban Morrill anyways so on and so forth.
