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 1678 birth entry for Ester Wheeler in the Concord, Massachusetts town vital records book:
The birth record transcription is:
"Ester daughter of John Wheeler born 1.10.78"
The source citation for this record is:
George Tolman (compiler), Concord, Massachusetts Births, Marriages and Deaths, 1635-1850 (Concord, Mass. : Committee on Printing, 1894), page 22, Esther Wheeler birth entry, 1.10.78 (1 December 1678).
This is an abstract from a copied town record book for Concord, Massachusetts, so it is a Derivative Source with Primary Information and Direct Evidence of the birth of Esther Wheeler.
Esther Wheeler (1678-1756) was the daughter of John and Sarah (Larkin) Wheeler of Concord, Massachusetts. She married Samuel Prescott (1674-1758) of Lancaster on 5 May 1698 in Concord.
Samuel and Esther (Wheeler) Prescott are my 7th great-grandparents, through their daughter Dorothy Prescott (1702-1774) who married James Hildreth (1698-1761) on 20 December 1721 in Chelmsford, Massachusetts.
