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 1774 gravestone Mary (Herrington) (Rogers) Grout in Westborough, Massachusetts Bay:
"Mrs.
Mary
wife of
Mr. Joseph Grout
died Aug. 18 1774"
The source citation for this marriage record is:

There are no town records or vital records for Mary (Herrington) (Rogers) Grout (1693-1774).
Mary Herrington was born 2 January 1692/3 in Watertown, Massachusetts Bay, the daughter of Edward and Mary (Ockington) Herrington. She married (1) Daniel Rogers (1687-1711) on 17 December 1710 in Watertown. As Mary Rogers, she married (2) Joseph Grout (1693-1758) on 3 January 1716/7 in Watertown. She died 18 August 1774 in Westborough, Massachusetts Bay.
Joseph and Mary (Herrington) (Rodgers) Grout are my 6th great-grandparents, through their daughter Mehitable Grout (1722-1795), who married Moses Brigham (1723-1769) in 1749.
