The bible itself was published in 1838. In the front are loose papers from the Jerome and Leach families. Within the bible are records for John Hudson Duryea (1810-1895) and his wives. The connection that I can figure out is: Richard Jerome (born 1753) and Esther Leach (born 1760) were the maternal grandparents of Spencer Cone Blake (1835-1911), who married Harriet Wallace (1839-1921). Harriet's mother, Elizabeth Thompson (1815-1852), was the second wife of Reverend John Hudson Duryea. Reverend Duryea served at the Second Reformed Church in Paterson, Passaic County, New Jersey.
