This bible measures approximately 10″ x 8″ x 2″ and is in rough shape with the front and back covers detached. Unsure of when I obtained this bible but it was found in Nova Scotia. It belonged to the family of John T. MacKenzie and Mary MacDonald of Prince Edward Island. John T. MacKenzie was born Oct 1, 1854 in Hartsville, Prince Edward Island. Mary MacDonald was born May 9, 1862 in Rice Point, Prince Edward Island. It appears that one of their ancestors may have settled in Nova Scotia.
