Treasure Chest Thursday - Post 311: 1734 Birth Record of Elizabeth Prescott in Westford, Mass.

It's Treasure Chest Thursday - time 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 1734 birth record for Elizabeth Prescott (1734-1812), daughter of Jonas and Elizabeth (Harwood) Prescott, in the Westford, Massachusetts town records:

The snippet of the birth record is:

The transcription of this birth record is:

"prescott  Elisabath prescott dauter of Jonas prescott and Elisabath his
wife was born September the 15 th 1734
                                                         recorded by me Jonas prescott Town Ck"

The source citation for this town record is:

Elizabeth Prescott (1734-1812) married Zachariah Hildreth (1728-1784) in 1753, and they had 12 children.

Elizabeth (Prescott) Hildreth is my 5th great-grandmother, through her first son, Zachariah Hildreth (1754-1829).
