FOUND Family Bible of Samuel Hornberger & Sarah Ann May [1850-1932] Sarah, a great-great-granddaughter of Johann Leonhardt Meÿ/May, was in the 10th known May generation. See Sarah listed in the family tree of her grandfather Johann Leonard May [1783-1856] Saving the Bible We are very fortunate that a genealogist — who isn't related to our families — saw the personal importance of this old family Bible to someone unknown to her. She contacted me through this website and wrote: "I am in possession of a Family Bible that belonged to Samuel Hornberger and Sarah May (m. 1870) which has some family events listed. The Bible itself is not in very good condition. I am looking for someone who would like to have the Bible or even just the pages in which family events have been recorded. Being a genealogist myself I am reluctant to dispose of it without at least trying to find a family member. " Later she added: "I have had it for a while – it was on its way to the trash at the library where I worked so I rescued it but then did not know what to do with it. So I’ve had it put away . . . " The Bible was on its way to the trash heap at the Champaign [IL] Public Library where she worked for several years as a librarian. I hope that it will someday find a permanent home with a descendant of Sarah Ann May.
