Jabez & Olive (Norton) Hathaway family Bible

No relation. I just enjoy browsing through family Bibles up for auction on eBay and trying to connect any genealogical info provided by the seller to those that might find it interesting or worth pursuing. I am not the seller! Here is what I found:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3593425028&category=29220

"Of the six family pages, the first two list births, starting with the patriarch and matriarch, Jabez L. Hathaway (born in 1819) and his wife Olive (Norton) Hathaway, born in 1820. Then nine more births, all Hathaways, between 1843 and 1862. The third page is Marriages, starting with Jabez and Olive in 1842. Other surnames on this page include Freeman, Wentworth, Jackson and Goodell. And the ministers' names are Emerson, Bailey, Lyford, Long and Man. On the fourth page, someone has written the entire poem "Monday's Child". And the last two pages list Deaths, starting with Jabez in 1898 (although some of the kids died earlier) and ending with Herbert Jackson in 1936. As for locations, the marriage locations include Monson, Lowell and Willimantic, Maine. The location of the marriage between Jabez and Olive is not stated."

Some of what I could make out from pictures supplied in posting:

Jabez L. Hathaway, b. 8 Feb 1819
Olive Norton, b. 5 Oct? 1820
Children:
Emily, b. 15 Feb 1843
Hiram, b. 4 Nov? 1844
Ellen M., b. 25 Jan? 1846
Martha, b. 24 Apr 1848
William H., b. 31 Dec 1850
Sarah, b. 12 Sep 1854
?, b. 31 Aug 1857
Walter, b. 25 Apr 1860
Florence, b. ?

Jabez & Olive m. 13 ? 1842


It would appear that this family was living in 1880 Howard, Piscataquis County, Maine.
