Origins of 165 Family Bible tune?

[Haruo (Leland)]

I set this poem that my Grandma (paternal grandmother) wrote on Feb. 12, 1924, to FAMILY BIBLE, which I think it works well with, but I'm wondering who composed the tune. Denson doesn't say. I know this is probably covered in Makers, but I don't have my copy at hand. Anybody know the origins of this tune?

Leland,

This tune appeared in William Caldwell's 1837 Union Harmony. Apparently he was the arranger. Warren Steel says that it is a variant of tune by J. C. Lowry in Columbian Harmony (1829).

William Caldwell was born in 1801 in Jefferson County, Tennessee. Union Harmony was printed in Maryville, Tennessee in 1837. Caldwell moved his family to Fannin County, Texas in 1856, and he died there in 1857.
