Grierson Bible

This family bible was printed about 1830 in London and brought to Australia in 1839 by John and Mary Grierson.

The will of Mary nee Burgess written in 1864 contains the following words:

I direct my said Executors to sell and dispose of all my household furniture and effects (save and except the family Bible of my late deceased Husband which I specially give and bequeath to my Grandson John Grierson with a request that he will keep and preserve it as an Heirloom in his own immediate family) ..

This bible has been preserved in the family and is presently in the hands of John David Grierson born 1938.
