This manuscript document, titled “A Chronological Account or Collection of Births and Burials,” records the family history of Isaac and Grace Parry, including their dates of birth and death, along with those of their children. It was found in a copy of the Isaac Collins Bible of 1791, the first Bible printed in New Jersey and arguably the first American Family Bible. It is likely the Bible was owned by the Parry family.
