The treasure today is the 1739 death record for Elizabeth (Harwood) Prescott (1701-1739) in Westford, Massachusetts:

The transcription of this record is:

Recorded by me Jonas Prescott Junr Town Clerk
in the year 1739.
The source citation for this record is:

Elizabeth (Harwood) Prescott (1701-1739) was Jonas Prescott's (1703-1784) second wife, and bore four children. He lost his first wife, Elizabeth (Spaulding) Prescott (1705-1730) also, having bore two children. He married his third wife, Rebecca (Jones) Prescott (1710-1802) in 1740, and bore three children with Jonas Prescott.
Jonas Prescott and Elizabeth (Harwood) Prescott are my sixth great-grandparents, through their daughter, Elizabeth Prescott (1734-1812), who married Zachariah Hildreth (1728-1784).

Our ancestors have overlapped before and now I see Prescott in your tree. By chance is there a Bailey/Bayly/Baillie/Bailli/e or any other spelling using those letters? I am looking for William Scott Bailey b. NH who married Laura Ann McCauley. She married 2nd Spencer Holycross in Ohio.
