The treasure today is the 1707 birth record of Joseph Colbey in the Amesbury, Massachusetts vital record book:
The transcription of this record is:
"[COLBEY] Joseph, s. Joseph and Anne, July 30, 1707."
The source citation for this record is:
Town of Amesbury, Massachusetts, Vital Records of Amesbury, Massachusetts to the End of the Year 1849 (Topsfield, Mass. : Topsfield Historical Society, 1913), Births, page 56, Joseph Colbey entry.
This is a Derivative Source record, with Primary Information and Direct Evidence of the birth date, birth place, and parents names. The original source was probably a handwritten Amesbury town record that is no longer available.
Joseph Colby (1707-after 1768) was the son of Joseph Colby (1680-1754) and Anne Bartlett (1684-1721), who married in 1704 in Amesbury. Joseph Colby (1707-after 1768) is my 6th great-grandfather. He married Abigail Worthen (1714-????) in 1736 in Amesbury. I am descended through their daughter Hannah Colby (1745-????), who married John Underhill (1745-1816).
