Researching the "Lewin" Bible

The Family Text from circa 1790

This starts with the birth of John Lewin in 1735 and ending with the birth of John's (youngest) daughter, Sarah, in 1789. Two child deaths are on a separate page. The text appears to have been written by John himself, most likely into the new bible in about 1790.
