| HANDWRITING ANALYSIS OF ENTRIES IN MARGARET HART'S BIBLE |
| Page 1 & 2: Entries appear to be in the same hand. Probably Margaret Hart's, based on the content. |
| Page 3:
Entries of deaths of Margaret and William T. Brown appear to be a second hand. Perhaps Catherine Carroll Hart, Margaret's mother? Matches entries on page 4. Entries of deaths of Elisabeth and Thomas Brown appear to be in a third hand. Final entries on this page appear to be the hand of Lorinda Brown Miller, based on content. |
| Page 4:
Writing appears to match some entries on page 3. See above. |
| Page 5:
Birth of George Thomas Miller appears to be the same hand as page 4 (Catherine Carroll Hart's?). Other entries are another hand, probably Lorinda Brown Miller's. |
