TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES:
The records of the marriage of Nathan Keen and Blanch (sic) Upton, and all of the births except that of Cora Keen, are written in a greenish ink, and would appear to have been written at the same time. All other writings are in black ink.
The latest copyright date in this Bible is 1885, which is therefore the earliest possible date that Mr Keen could have obtained it. If the green-ink records were indeed written all at one time, that must have been sometime between 1892 and 1896.
