Treasure Chest Thursday - Post 319: 1740 Birth Record of David Kirby (1740-1832)

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 1740 birth record of David Kirby (1740-1832), son of Ichabod and Rachel (Allen) Kirby, in Dartmouth, Massachusetts town records:


The snippet for the David Kirby record is on the left-hand page:


The transcription of the record is:

David Kerby the son of Ichabod Kerby
and Rachell his wife was born the sixteenth day of the
month called August 1740

The source citation for this birth record is:
