The treasure today is the 1683 birth record of Nathaniell Knowlton in the Ipswich, Massachusetts town record book:
The birth record for Nathaniell Knowlton is the first entry on the left-hand page:
This record says:
"Nathaniell, son of Nathaniell Knowlton, borne the 3'd of May 1683."
The source citation for this record is:
"Massachusetts, Town and Vital Records, 1620-1988," indexed database and digital image, Ancestry.com (https://www.ancestry.com), Ipswich > "Church Records, with Births, Marriages, and Deaths," page 38 (image 53 of 180), Nathaniell Knowlton birth entry, 3 May 1683.
This Ipswich town record is a Derivative Source (because it is obviously a transcription of an earlier record) with Primary Information and Direct Evidence of the name of Nathaniel Knowlton and his father, and the birth date and place. The Original Source is a town record book birth register that is no longer available. This is still Primary Information and Direct Evidence for the names and birth event.
Nathaniel Knowlton (1683-1760) was the first child and son of Nathaniel and Deborah (Jewett) Knowlton of Ipswich, Massachusetts. He married (1) Mary Bennett (1686-1717) in 1703 in Ipswich, and married (2) Reform Trescott (1690-????) in 1717 in Ipswich.
Nathaniel and Mary (Bennett) Knowlton are my 7th great-grandparents, through their son Jeremiah Knowlton (1713-1752) who married Sarah Allen (1717-1796) in 1735 in Sudbury, Massachusetts.
