The Tarter family Bible of Onta Jane Roberts Roman, Kentucky

Photographs provided by Kenita Jones, who presently owns this Bible. Ownership of the Bible passed from Martha Jane Roberts to her son Cuda Riley Roberts to his daughter Onta Jane Roberts Roman to her granddaughter, Kenita Jones. Based on the printing date of the Bible, there may have been one earlier owner, Elizabeth Tarter Roberts. There are two sets of handwriting styles recording these entries - one in old fashioned steel-nibbed ink pen and one in pencil.

Title Page
New Testament of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, copyright 1852
Cuda Roberts was born May the 12th 1881

Births
While the printed title says Deaths, the page was used to record births
Elizabeth Tarter was born January the 21st 1822
Selah Tarter was born July 13 1823
Silas Tarter was born Dec the 26th 1824
Nancy Tarter was born Aug the 19th 1826
John D. Tarter was born Dec the 22nd 1827 1
Polley Tarter was born Nov 5th 1827 1
Wm. R. Tarter was born Oct the 22 1831
Martha J. Tarter was born Oct the 19th 1833
Samuel Tarter was born Aug the 29 1835
Malvina Tarter was born May the 9th 1837

Cudy Roberts was born May the 12 1881
Samey D. Burge was born May the 10 1875
Green Roberts was born Jan 23 1868

The first group, Elizabeth through Malvina, are the children of Jesse Tarter and Sally Weddle, of Pulaski Co., KY. The children born after Malvina (at least six) are not recorded. The remaining names are later descendants of this line.

1 John D. Tarter’s date of birth matches his tombstone so presumably is correct. Polley therefore cannot have been born in November 1827, if her brother was born in December 1827. Census data places Polley around 1836.

In a dying hour she asked forgiveness of her friends. Said “The Lord has reconciled me to his will. He will take care of the baby. The most I hate of dying is that I cannot take all of you with me” to her husband. But very last pointing her finger to the east through the window and being asked if she saw angels, no she says. “I see a bright spot.” Blessed words of comfort. May we all see one at Death.

Page 8: Deaths
Jinsey Hammonds, my Mother, died of pistol shot in the brain, fired not intentionally by her little grandson J. M. Hammonds. December the 17th 1888. The boy had been used to toy with a toy pistol when quite young. He gad been told to let the pistol alone by me, his father, yet he must do as he pleased and this was the sad result. This was his way of honoring his father. Alas, by what rule of arithmetic can we tell the probable amount of remorse and disgrase that may come of breaking the 5th commandment, Ex 20 v 12. She too sleeps in Malden Cemetery. Peace be to her slumbering destiny. Aged 64 years 5 months and 12 days. G. T Hammonds

Hettie lived to be 8 yrs and 2 months old. With her last breath, she tried to cheer and comfort her crying brother and sister by calling to them “I am not suffering.”

Jincy and John still live here. Jincy is married to Benton E. Hall since Oct 1910. They have 3 smart children to their joy and grief. Sometime in early 1920 I expect their fortunes to change for the better for them, if not a little sooner. – G. T. H.

John is still single by the grace of God, but by grace of the mountains may double.
