Long, Nokes, McCormick Family Bible
This Bible was given to me by my Grandmother, Natalie Marie Gustine Stice Richardson Beard before she passed away in 1999.
The Bible was given to Natalie by her Great-grandmother, Anna (Annie) Jane Long.
The copyrighted date inside the Bible is 1853 and the handwritten inscription inside the Bible is:
Almina Nokes Book
Almina Longs Book
A sacred present from her Mother hoping that she may profit by the many truths that are written there in.
Elizabeth Nokes
(Elizabeth Nokes maiden name was Twombly)
Handwritten in the Family Record section of the Bible:
Joseph T. Long and Almina Nokes was married December the 20, 1855
Joseph T. Long was born March the 10 1838
Almina Nokes was born November the 21 1838
Joseph and Alminas children:
Ann Jane Long was born September the 18 1857
Mary Elizabeth Long was born May the 21 1859
I believe this was the child of Joseph and his second wife:
Edy Long was born December the 7 1865
Children of  Milton McCormick and Almina Nokes Long
(This marriage is not recorded in the Bible.  Married June 2, 1863)
Sarah Adline McCormick was born March the 24 1864 and died September the 4 1867
Rosy Elin McCormick was born September the 22 1865
Samuel and Selvester McCormick was born February the 19 1868
Melisa Eulalia McCormick was born April the 16 1869
William Milton McCormick was born February 7 1871
Della Ethel McCormick was born Aug. 8 1883

On the back cover the of the Bible is handwritten in pencil:
Almina Nokes and George Nokes

NOTE:  The Long/Nokes/McCormick families were in Adams/Brown County, IL.  I believe the McCormicks moved to Missouri, but have found no record of them.  Anna Jane Long married John M. Gordon and they were in Nodaway County, then Cass County, MO.

I have photographs of several of the persons named in this Bible and would be willing to scan and e-mail them to any interested relatives.  The McCormick photos are not identified except as McCormicks, half brothers and sisters of Anna Jane Long.
