My aunt was the third wife of her fifth husband. In her Civil War pension application, she mentions having his family bible which included death dates of his wife and others. <\/p>\n
I’m wondering what happened to the Bible upon her death. It’s very possible it actually went to her family and left her husband’s family altogether. <\/p>\n
Could this have happened to one of your family items? It might be worth contacting descendants of an ancestor’s step-child to see if they have any knowledge of materials of this type.<\/p>\n
