Phillip Cox - Dorcas Hull Bible

Contributed by: Allice Burns Reynolds

Background on the bible from Fran Shuman Miller. 

The "Cox Bible" was presented to the Bridgewater Township, Somerset County, NJ Historical Society in 1940 by Col. Philander Betts. The bible originally belonged to Dorcas Hull's mother Jerusha Hitchcock who married Phineas Hull.  At last accounts, it was in the possession of Harvey B. Johnson of Ocean Grove, NJ. At some point, it was photocopied, but it's in negative (black with white letters). Was able to scan the 4 pages photocopied, which included a family page giving the dates of some of the children of Phillip Cox. The records are somewhat difficult to read.
