Bible provenance: Peter Pickle (1799-1870) was (in his 
father's will) given whatever inheritance there was on the condition 
he care for his mother. He brought his mother from the Palatine area 
of the Mohawk River to Dutch Street, Town of Fremont, Steuben County, 
New York. They came by way of Middlesex, NY, where Peter's wife, Mary (Rows)
Pickle (1802-1836) and their daughter died and were buried in Middlesex, NY. 
The bible then passed to Peter's son, Henry (1829-1894), then Henry's eldest 
daughter, Melissa, then to Melissa's great-nephew, Lyall (1896-1957) in the early 
1930's, and currently is in the possession of Lyall's daughter, Ethel (Pickle) 
Mongiovi Cooke. 
George Pickle and his wife, Barbery, are buried in the Clockville Cemetery. 
[Note: Barbery Pickle's death on 17 Jan 1856, 72 yr is recorded in the 
Kilts Family Bible.]
