It's Treasure Chest Thursday - a chance to look in my digital image files to see what treasures I can find for my family history and genealogy musings.
The treasure today is the birth entry for Phinehas Brigham (1755-1802) in the Westborough, Massachusetts town record book:
The transcription of this record is:
"Phinehas Brigham was Born of Moses Brigham
"Phinehas Brigham was Born of Moses Brigham
and Mehitubell Brigham his wife July y'e 23'd 1755'
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 : accessed 18 November 2020), "Westborough > Births, Marriages, and Deaths," image 284 of 1417, Phinehas Brigham birth entry, 23 July 1755.
This is probably a transcription of an original town record book for Westborough, Massachusetts, so it is a Derivative Source with Primary Information and Direct Evidence of the birth of Phinehas Brigham and his parents names.
Phinehas Brigham (1755-1802) was the son of Moses and Mehitable (Grout) Brigham of Westborough, Massachusetts. He married Lydia Bathrick (1752-1795), the daughter of David and Lydia (Maynard) Bathrick of Westborough. Phinehas and Lydia (Bathrick) Brigham are my 4th great-grandparents, through their son Lambert Brigham (1794-1834) who married Sophia Buck (1797-1882) in 1817.
