1811 John Mumma Bible
[Bible currently in the possession of Jerry Flook]

This bible was owned by John Mumma (1787-1835). John was the eldest son of Jacob Mumma who migrated to Sharpsburg, Maryland in 1796. John had 13 children, six by his first wife, Elizabeth Susan "Mary" Shafer (1791-1820) and seven by his second wife, Mary Schnebley (1796-1862). From the writing in the bible suggests that John himself made the entries in the bible after the birth of his second child, Catharina Mumma in 1811.
