It's Treasure Chest Thursday - a chance to look in my digital image files to see what treasures I can find for my family history and genealogy musings.
The treasure today is the 1698 birth record in Chelmsford, Massachusetts for Joseph Keyes (1698-1744):
The Joseph Keyes birth record is about four-fifths down the right-hand page on the image above:
The transcription of this record is:
"Josepeh the sonne of Josepeh and Johannah Keyes was born the 1 May 1698."
The source citation for this record is:
Massachusetts, Town and Vital Records, 1620-1988, digital images, Ancestry.com (http://www.ancestry.com), Chelmsford > Proprietors Records, no page number (image 39 of 50), Joseph Keyes birth entry.
Joseph Keyes (1698-1744) was the third child and only son of Joseph Keyes (1667-1757) and Johanna Cleveland (1670-1758) of Chelmsford and Westford, Massachusetts. He married Elizabeth Fletcher (1698-1775) in 1720 and they had five children, all born in Chelmsford.
They are my 6th great-grandparents. I descend through their son Jonathan Keyes (1722-1781), who married Elizabeth Fletcher (1720-1761) in 1746.
