The treasure today is the 1704 death record of Nathaniel Potter in Portsmouth, Rhode Island:

The transcription of this death record for Nathaniel Potter is:

Nathaniel Potter (1637-1704) was born in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, the son of Nathaniel and Dorothy (--?--) Potter. He married Elizabeth Stokes (1639-after 1710) in Portsmouth. They had 11 children.
Nathaniel and Elizabeth (Stokes) Potter are my 8th great-grandparents. I am descended through their daughter Rebekah Potter (681-1773) of Dartmouth, Massachusetts, who married Robert Kirby (1674-1757) in about 1700 in Dartmouth.
