The treasure today is the 1686 marriage record of Thomas Goble and Sarah Shepard in the Concord, Massachusetts vital town record book:
""Thomas Goble and Sarah Shepard, both of Concord, Marryed January y^e 4th 1686. by me Edward Bulkely Minister of Concord."
The source citation for this record is:
George Tolman (compiler), Concord, Massachusetts Births, Marriages and Deaths, 1635-1850 (Concord, Mass. : Committee on Printing, 1894), Middlesex County Register, page 27, Thomas Goble and Sarah Shepard marriage entry, 1686.
The entry above the Goble/Shepard marriage is from August 1686, and the entry below it is from August 1687, so this marriage date should be 4 January 1686/7.
This record is a Derivative Source with Primary Information and Direct Evidence of the names of Thomas Goble and Sarah Shepard, and the marriage date and place. The Original Source is a town record book marriage register and a county marriage register that are no longer available. Apparently, the records in this book are from a copy of the original register. They are still Primary Information and Direct Evidence for the names and marriage event.
Thomas Goble (1656-1724) was the son of Thomas and Ruth (--?--) Goble of Concord. Sarah Shepard (1667-1746) was the daughter of John and Sarah (Goble) Shepard of Concord. They married 4 January 1686/7 in Concord, Massachusetts.
Thomas Goble and Sarah Shepard are my 7th great-grandparents, through their daughter Mary Goble (1694-1734) who married John Fletcher (1692-????) in Watertown in 1715.
