Thank you for your taking an interest in researching this. However, the Holden family bible I am speaking of was handed down to Nell Holden Roberts. The one at the Alamo is different, although, of the same Holden Family line. Here's additonal info on it:
"Those are two different Bibles. Here is the info. on the Holden Family Bible purchased by Richard Holden about 1812:
This information was taken directly from the "Holden Family Bible", which is in the possession of the Daughters of the Republic at the research library in San Antonio Texas, on the grounds of the Alamo.
The HOLDEN Family of Georgia originally owned the Bible, published in 1811, which was brought to Texas in 1836 by the descendents of Richard and Sarah Holden, to what is now Llano County. George Washington Holden was the first to arrive in the Republic and was followed by his sister Jemimah Holden, who had married Captain William Hickman Dunman in 1841. They arrived in February of 1845 with two of their daughters Josephine and Jennie. In 1857, Josephine married John Bruce Duncan and was given the family Bible; it in turn was passed down to her son, Jeff Duncan, upon her death. On April 21, 1947, Jeff Duncan
donated the Family Bible to the Alamo Museum, San Antonio, Texas."
Again, thank you for your time!
