Colonial Bible Rejoins Boston After 318 Years

A Boston-born Bible from 1708, belonging to Benjamin Edwards’ ancestor, has been donated to American Ancestors, making it the earliest family Bible from Boston in their collection. The Bible, which has traveled through centuries and regions, contains familial records and historical notes, including a marriage recorded by Cotton Mather. After years in private hands and being restored by specialists, it will now be accessible to the public by appointment, preserving its historical significance as a link to Boston’s early history and its maritime and revolutionary past.
