The treasure today is the 1761 death record of Ruth (Barber) Smith in Walpole, Massachusetts:
Ruth Smith's death record is at the top of the right-hand page on the image above:
The transcription of the death record is:
"Widow Ruth Smith deceast August ye 4th 1761"
The source citation for this record is:
"Massachusetts, Town and Vital Records, 1620-1988," digital images, Ancestry.com (http://www.ancestry.com), "Walpole > Births, Marriages and Deaths," no page number (image 329 of 2213), Widow Ruth Smith entry.
Ruth Barber (1696-1761) married Henry Smith (1680-1743) on 1 September 1730 as his third wife. They had three children together between 1730 and 1740 in Medfield.
Henry and Ruth (Barbur) Smith are my 6th great-grandparents. I am descended from their second child, Moses Smith (1732-1806), who married Patience Hamant (1735-1780) in 1762 in Medfield.
