HOLY BIBLE 1818 Leather AMERICAN Antique FAMILY Revolutionary War Col S. NEVERS


The "Founding Father of Sweden" in Oxford county, Maine. Samuel lived a full life and to a grand age of 91 years.

At age 17, Samuel join Capt Baldwin on ship "Rider-Rally" as a Privateer for the colonist in Jan 1783 re: the last year of the Revolutionary War. The Treaty of Paris was signed by the end of 1783. The ending of the Revolutionary War was not the end for Samuel however, his vessel was captured by the British Brig "Chatham". He was imprisoned and impressed into labor on the ship for one year. It docked in want we call Manhattan today in New York and there he made his escape.

Upon his honorable discharge he was given the rank of Lieut. When called upon for duty again in the War of 1812, he was given the rank of Col., a regiment of Oxford County Maine, which was his home at this time in his life.

After the Revoluntionary War, Samuel was given a large tract of land in Maine. In 1794, he arrived in a area that we call today Sweden, Maine. He started to clear his lumber on his land, he return several times a year to Burlington, Massachusetts for supplies. In 1796, his freind Benjamin Webber joined him and Samuel gave his freind some land for his assistance. Upon his last visit back to Burlington in 1796, he took his bride Esther Trull daughter of Capt John Trull and wife Esther Wyman of Tewksbury, Middlesex, Massachusetts.

Samuel and Esther were married in Oct 1796. Immediately after the marriage, they came by horse back together to their new land and log home in Sweden, Maine. They rode for 180 miles arriving within record time of one full day. They will have only 3 sons to live to adulthood. Three others die as toddlers/babies.

Samuel rewards Esther well for her true hardiness, with one of the most impressive home's in Sweden. It still stands today in all of its grand beauty with Kezar Lake in the back ground. It stand on the four corners of Sweden, as it is called even today. Samuel called his wife his true partner in life and when she died half of himself was gone, he went on say she was his equal! The home remained in the Nevers family until July 1951, it was purchased by a couple from New Jersey.

Samuel built the first school, meetinghouse, which still stands today on Rte 96. The first church he funded to be built still stands across the street from the Meetinghouse/school. Prior to his death in 1857 he also built the first brick schoolhouse in Sweden, which also still stands.

He served as a State Representative for Sweden in 1830, 1833, 1834, 1837. In 1823, he was apart of the Maine Separation Committee from Massachusetts. He was very proud he voted for the independence of Maine from Massachusetts. He was equally proud that he never missed a vote and that every President he voted for was the winner. He was the one of the first leaders of the Maine Democrat party.

He also served his town as the first suveyor, he built the first roads and bridges. He built the first Saw Mill, owned and ran it in addition to his growing Timber yard. His sons Samuel jr, Benjamin and William worked along side their father when of age. Samuel Jr was given the saw Mill, Timber Yard, home of his parents. The other properties were divided by the two sons.

The information on Col Samuel Nevers is well documented in The State of Maine Registers, The Lovell-Sweden Historical Society, Col. Samuel Nevers Memoirs, which his grandson William had published in 1860s.

1792 HOLY Bible Owned REVOLUTIONARY WAR MINUTE MAN Jacob P NASH Leather ANTIQUE

The Holy Bible, Containing the Old and New Testaments, T Translated out of the original tongues, and with the former translations diligently compared and revised, by the special command. Edinburgh: printed by Mark and Charles Kerr, 1792.  A truly one of a kind BIble. This Bible is wrapped completely in a homemade leather skin wrapp, tied inside the covers w/sinew.  The cover  has taken the brunt of the wear over the years, leaving the main boards and spine quite protectd underneath. There is some rounding to the corners, some tears and splits in the leather wrap, and some obvious scuffing, but overall the outside presentation is great. Within the Bible shows the heavier aging found in the Bibles of this era, with many of the first and last pages victims to bookworking and insect damage. Although it is quite apprent, the text itself remains in nice shape, with a few pages worn and edge chipped, and one Ep torn. There are no plates, as this was issued in this manor. The hinges are solid, and all title pages are present, and all pages bound. Although highly collectible as it is, the provenance is what makes this Bible absolutley museum worthy. The blank and backsides of many pages are filled out with births, marriages and deaths from the Nash and Fuller families, with dates ranging from 1766-1830. Among these members was the patriarch and probable owners of the Bible, Mr and Mrs Jacob P. (Susanna) Nash of Braintree Massachusetts.

Jacob Nash is the figure to focus upon here; he served as a private and Minute Man in Braintree Massachusetts Regiment in the first response to the British advance towwards Boston on the evening of April 18th 1775, and was the President and organizer of over 120 men that took up arms in the very first response to Paul Revere's lantern lighting that evening in Boston and the growing battle in Lexington. THIS WAS THE FIRST ACTUAL BATTLE AND VICTORY THAT BEGAN THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR AND IN TURN BEGAN THE HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES AS AN INDEPENDENT NATION THAT EVENING! 

I have included more below,  Truly historical, this belongs in the hands of one who truly values its history, and one that holds full understanding that this Bible was held by the hands of one who was one of the first true Patriots and free citizens of the United States of America! Good luck!

Family HOLY BIBLE 1836 Civil War JOHN WILLIS 192ND PA 2 CDVs IN UNIFORM Antique

You are bidding on a family lot/Holy Bible owned by Corporal John K Willis of the 192nd PA Vol Infantry. The Bible, published by Leavitt and Allen c1853, is in rough shape, but still contains both covers (stamped in gilt, red leather, some bubbling, still attached by cords), as well as all of the pages within. The binding is still intact as well, but a few pages, including the illustrated color frontis, have detached, and the cords are highly stressed and broken in a few places, forming a very uneasy binding situation. Family pages are present but detached with some edgewear. All pages gilt edged. Interesting ephemera includes a bank ceryificate and a marriage certificate. The highlight of the lot is 2 CDVs of Coproral Willis, one in full uniform with his gun in hand. Great pics with some minor wear, old fold on one CDV but has flattened nicely. Good luck! Regiment Name 192 Pennsylvania Inf.Organized at Philadelphia for 100 days July, 1864. At Camp Cadwalader till July 23. Moved to Baltimore, Md., July 23.

including LIEUTENANT JOHN HUSTON, of the PENNSYLVANIA 5TH BATTALION, American Revolutionary War, and COLONEL JOHN HUSTON of the 5TH BATTALION PA Militia,  War of 1812!

 UNBELIEVABLE SATURATION OF HISTORY!!!

Alexander's Stereotyped Editon: The Holy Bible: containing the Old and New Testaments, translated out of the original tongues, and with the former translations diligently compared and revised. With Canne's marginal notes. To which are added an index: and an alphabetical table of all the names in the Old and New Testaments, with their significations, also tables of scripture weights, measures and coins. Philadelphia: Printed and Published by C. Alexander & Co, 1834. Super rare publisher, hence rare Bible even independent of its history.

All boards, spine, pages and engravings are intact, light/moderate wear to cover edges, as shown.

Family record pages present and record is extensive, from the 1740s for the Huston and Anderson family of Monroe Co., PA and Trenton, NJ, including Lt. Huston, during the Revolutionary War, and his son, during the War of 1812! . Very historical Bible with both military and historical family ties, as well as a rare early American Bible in and of itself. More about the family below. Good luck!!

SOME BLURBS ABOUT THE HUSTON MILITARY VETERANS OF BOTH THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR AND WAR OF 1812, BOTH NOTED IN THE BIBLE:

Lt. John HUSTON (b. 26 Apr 1752 - d. 16 June 1836 PA) buried Stroudsburg, Monroe Co., PA. He was born 3 days after arriving in America.

According to the records of the War Department, John Huston served in the Revolutionary War as an Ensign in a company designated at various times as Captain Thomas Walker's and Capt. William Henderson's Company, 9th Virginia Regiment (1776-1778), commanded by Thomas Fleming, Esq., and Colonel George Mathews. The date of his entry into service is not shown. His name first appears on a company muster roll for November 1776. He was transferred to Capt. Samuel Woodson's Company in May 1777 and was promoted to Lieutenant 10 May 1777. He was transferred to Capt. John Hay's Company, same regiment in September 1777, and the company pay roll for September 1777 shows that he resigned on the 8th instant.

I. to Hamilton Township, Northampton County, Pa., now, Monroe County, shortly after the close of the Revolutionary War, where he reared his family consisting of four sons and three daughters. They were among the first to be buried in the Shafer's School House Cemetery located about two miles West of Stroudsburg, in Stroud Township, Monroe County, Pa. Their graves are still well marked and the information concerning their births and deaths was copied by the author from their grave stones.
