The treasure today is the 1730 marriage record of Henry Smith and Ruth Barbur in Medfield, Massachusetts:
The Smith-Barbur marriage record:
The transcription of this record is:
"[BARBUR] Ruth and Henry Smith, Sept. 1, 1730*"
NOTE: The asterisk (*) indicates that intentions were not recorded in the town records book.
The source citation for this record is:
Vital Records of Medfield, Massachusetts to the Year 1850 (Boston, Mass. : New England Historic Genealogical Society, 1903), Marriages, page 174, Ruth Barbur and Henry Smith entry.
Henry Smith (1680-1743) married Ruth Barbur (1696-1761) 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.
