Bible apears to be mainly a Betsey Hackett's, in that her name is printed in the front in pen, but there are other names nearly unintelligible now in pencil near it. The above one is part of a penciled-in signature. 

Ideas on which Hacketts this relates to? The Bible also had a poem from the Boston Cultivator used as a book-mark.

Valentino wants to help. :D 
Sadly, much of Revelation is missing. I assume the final pages had a family tree, too, and with part of Revelation those were ripped-out. Nonetheless, neat Bible with a rare piece of History.
