  •  Notes 
    • The Bible is assumed to have belonged to Ebenezer Comes, Jr, because of the publisher's date of 1836 and the material recorded directly into the Bible. It may have passed to Addison C. Comes and then to Irving Comes. It was passed on to James Coughlin by Addison F. Comes.

      Comments: There were a number of loose papers in the bible, including a small (3 sheet) notebook, a paper marked "Memorandum" which has the same writing, two other folded sheets with the same writing (faded), another single sheet in pencil (very faded), and another sheet which refers to the Ball family with various writing on it. Lastly, there is a sample of penmanship, "Marquis L. Comes" (would this be Marcus Lafyett?).

      All of these sheets will be maintained together as "Comes Bible".
