John Gager Kneeland m. Nellie France Tucker of Windham Co., CT BIBLE FOR SALE
They are Mayflower desc. according to the seller.
I don’t research these names but do look for my g-gramma’s bible, stumbled on this. Thought someone here might be interested. Maybe you can transcribe the pages. I tried but deleted it because I it was full of blanks that I could not decipher and I didn't want to mislead anyone with my mistakes. About all I can see without a problem is the very last entry for a Rose F. MitchellDec 17, 1897 and I’m not even 100% sure it’s an F. for the middle initial. Anyway, this is for sale on Ebay for fifty dollars with 5 days left to bid.

Seller's description (part of)
You are bidding on a 127 year old Bibl published by A. J. Holman and Company of Philadelphia in 1877. This Bible belonged originally to the family of John Gager Kneeland and wife Nellie France Tucker Kneeland of Windham County, Connecticut but an earlier generations dates are recorded in the family register (John's parents were William and Betsey McCall Kneeland). The family register is full of births, marriages and deaths and there are also obituaries and genealogical notes within the pages. This family tracks back to John Howland and wife Elizabeth Tilley who both cam to America on the Mayflower and there is a fully page of genealogy tracing the Kneelands back to this couple. There is also a birth announcement card for Gladys Elizabeth Kneeland who was born in 1926. Allied families areTucker, Bailey, Arson, Tague, and Ligon (or Tignon/Tignor). I tried to do some tracking on descendants and think they may live in Lebanon, Plainfield, Willimantic and Windham even now.
The Bible is in very poor condition with the cover separated from the rest of the Bible but all pages are there I think and it would be treasured by descendants if they could be located.
