The John Robert McQueen Bible may have been given to him and first wife Sarah Barclay, daughter of Robert Barclay and Sarah McKenzie, upon their marriage in 1856. By this time, John's father, Milton McQueen, and Sarah's mother had married, so they were also step-brother and step-sister at the time of their marriage. They were also cousins, as John McQueen and Nancy Crews were John's grandparents but Sarah Barclay's great-grandparents.
The Bible itself was published in 1850. Woodcuts were a common art form in pictures in Bibles of this era.
Below is the picture of Eve with Cain and Abel.
