Iâm a reader of Lancaster Farming, as well as a writer. Since Iâm also a history buff, one of my favorite sections to check each week (after perusing all the recipes, of course), is the Antiques Center page. Several weeks ago, an article caught my eye there. It was titled, âAntique Family Bible Found in Scranton Home Tied to Presidentâs Ancestors.â
As I read on, I discovered the article was about a 19th-century Bible recently discovered in an obscure part of a Scranton, Pennsylvania, home. The Bibleâs family record section listed the names Catherine and Patrick Blewitt, who happen to be the maternal great-great-grandparents of recently inaugurated president Joe Biden.
