The Bible was published in 1766 at Edinburgh "By Order of His Majesty" and was brought to America and handed down through successive generations of the Hill family of Pennsylvania to Grace Hill Brown, who has already made arrangements for its descent to a grandchild, George Hill IV. A great-great-grandfather, George Hill Sr., has inscribed his name in the old Bible, an edition of very fine print, and the notation that on March 10, 1824, the book was rebound in its present leather with two medal clasps. Mrs. Brown's grandfather was a Pennsylvania U.S. senator and her father was a minister of the gospel for 55 years.
