Family bible

There's a nice presentation of his family bible, which include handwritten details about the youth of his children (from vaccinations to childhood ailments), in a YouTube video published today: Unlocking a 250 Year Old Box Of Rare Books Considering that the box had been in a private collection until recently, and had not been opened in decades, I'd be surprised if these were known.
