Wonderful! It makes sense. Seeing I'm the nut who started asking about
Mount Nod - you may be interested to know that although I'm a bit of a
Bible basher, I hadn't thought of WHY the place would be called Mount Nod,
thinking it to be geographical location.

You've exited me on this.

The List may also like to know that yesterday I went to a grave in
Portland, New South Wales, where ancestors David Jarvis and Fath Merse
Stocks are buried. It is from the Stocks line that the Bible mentioned
comes into the family. Lo and Behold! The Bible still exists, as when I
visited my aunt at Lithgow, she stated that there were two family Bibles in
her family - one destroyed, probably on the WALKER/MAHONEY line, and the
other one is a Polyglot Bible which has the inscription quoted previously.
However, the Bible has been handed down, but I am assured I will see it
soon - but I have a feeling I won't see the 30 French names mentioned, as I
believe it may be a quotation (better to be pessimistic?)

I'll let the List know if I find anything useful
