The following information is from the Old Robertson 
Bible I have in my possession and was passed down 
to me from my mother, Mrs. Reuben L. Robertson, 
having received it probably from Mrs. James Arthur
Robertson, my paternal grandmother.  According to 
Lulie Davis, this was the Bible which belonged to 
Reuben Robertson who was married to Elvira Littell.

The Bible is in fair condition considering its age.  
The first part of the Bible is missing and starts 
with pg. 13 of Genesis.

On the page for the start of The New Testament, 
the following information is shown pertaining to its 
printing and date:

THE NEW TESTAMENT OF OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST, TRANSLATED OUT OF THE ORIGINAL GREEK; AND WITH THE FORMER TRANSLATIONS DILIGENTLY COMPARED AND REVISED. AND CANNE'S MARGINAL REFERENCES STEREOTYPED BY JAMES CONNER, NEW YORK NEW-YORK. PUBLISHED BY B. WAUGH AND T. MASON, FOR THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH, AT THE CONFERENCE OFFICE, 14 CROSBY STREET. J. COLLARD, PRINTER 1833

The first two pages, which I will refer to as Pages 
1,2,3,4, (front and back) are the same size as the 
Bible, have the same type border and are shown 
as FAMILY RECORD.

The second two pages, which I will refer to as 
Pages 5,6,7,8, (front and back) are smaller in 
size than the Bible, have an ornate border and 
are also shown as FAMILY RECORD with pg. 
5 having two columns and labeled BIRTHS, pg. 
6 having two columns and labeled MARRIAGES, 
pg. 7 & 8 having two columns and labeled
DEATHS.
