01
Artifact Overview
Many 19th-century Americans recorded births, deaths and marriages in family bibles. Subsequent generations sometimes add and update entries. The Ford family bible originally belonged to Margaret Ahern (or O'hern), Henry Ford's foster grandmother. It was passed down to Henry's sister, Margaret. Margaret later gave the bible to Henry. This page records the deaths of Henry's younger brother Robert and his father William.
