Fair Illustrated

1638 Robert Barker London print, double page map of the Land of Canaan as endpapers at front. Heraldic shield prior to introduction. Interesting doddles on page facing New Testament that are a few hundred years old written by a young Thomas Miller. Old Testament complete to end of Prophets, New Testament ends at Revelation Chatper XXII Verse 5. (so not complete). Original leather boards but sadly in very poor condition and in need of restoration and rebinding which we will leave to the discretion of the future owner of this antique Bible. Interestingly this bible was owned by Anna Snelling Moyle of Brantford Ontario. Her husband was William Moyle, whose biography follows: WILLIAM MOYLE, farmer, Paris P.O., is a grandson of John Moyle, who was for many years a resident of Dorsethire, England, where he died. He was by occupation a farmer, and lived to the advanced age of 93 years. the following are the names of his nine children: John Jr., William, Aaron, Henry, Rachel, Deborah, Elizabeth, Jane and Mary. Henry the father of our subject, was the youngest son, and was born in Wiltshire, England, and died in the County of Brant, Ontario, Canada. He grew up to farm life, and acquired a good education, and was especially a practical and accurate surveyor. In 1837 he with his family came to Canada, and settled near Paris in the spring of 1838; here he followed farming mostly through life, and was the first permanent settler on Lot 20 of the first concession, in the Township of Brantford. His administration as Magistrate covered many years, during which time his decisions were conceded to be just and equitable by all who knew him. He was one of the directors and stockholders in the old Gore Bank of Hamilton, which position he occupied at his death, at years of age. His wife was Anna Snelling, who was born in Dorsetshire, England, and died in the County of Brant, Ontario, at the age of 72. They had a family of three sons, viz., John, who returned to England, where he died in the prime of life; Henry, who now lives in Paris, and William, whose name heads this sketch; the latter was born in Dorsetshire in 1821, but from 16 years of age grew up in the County of Brant, and during the entire time he was a resident of the same county. He has always followed farming, and now owns a finely improved farm on the Paris stone road, of 125 acres. His wife is Martha Randall, of Dorsetshire, England. They have four sons and two daughters. The family belong to the Baptist Church. Mr. Moyle acquired a fair education in his native country; and since coming to the County of Brant, his business associations have placed him among the well-informed citizens. He was for many years President of the Brant County Mutual Insurance Company, but resigned in 1881. First Thus Leather
