"The bible was published in 1795 in Edinburgh, Scotland. Arunah LANE gave it to his wife Submit in 1807. Submit recorded her family's birth information in the Bible. I found some death information in a 1936 publication about headstone inscriptions in Killingworth and Clinton, CT, and have added it. I've also found Arunah, Oren, and Hiel in various federal census indices. So here's the family info:"
