In August 2021, I wrote about my 5th great-grandparents, Peter and Anna Barbary Kivett. Kivett family legend is that Peter (1726-1794) brought a Dutch Bible with him when he immigrated to Pennsylvania in 1649. At the time I was writing the post, I was unaware there was a private discussion underway between the Peter Kivett Family Association (PKFA) and a lady in Indianapolis who possessed a Bible that might be the “Peter Kivett Bible.” Vickie Kivett in Indiana wrote me recently saying a conclusion was reached and that the Bible in question did belong to Peter Kivett. It is now preserved at the Public Library of High Point, NC.
Here are links to Kivett family historian Bill Kivett’s excellent analysis and article on the “coming home” of the Bible.
