Bible Records Online

"Bible Records Online is a site dedicated to transcribing and digitizing the contents of family records that were written inside family Bibles and in other important documents from as early as the 1500s through today. Often, these were the only written records of births, marriages and deaths of a family, and these remain solid components to proving a family genealogy."

Bible Records Online is a website that provides transcriptions and (in many cases) digital images of the family records found within family bibles. Their collection contains more than 1,100 different bibles, although it doesn't look like it's been added to since 2007.

I will say that it's not the prettiest website, and for some reason the search feature isn't working, BUT nonetheless, this is a neat collection that can be browsed by bible (which lists primary surname, , associated surnames, location, and date range) and by surname.

Tip: To bypass the search issue, you can simply head to the "browse by bible" page and then do a "find on page" to find all instances of the surname you are looking for.
