Treasure Chest Thursday -- 1709/10 Marriage Record for Jacob Soule and Rebeckah Gifford in Dartmouth, Massachusetts

 It's time to look in my digital image files to see what treasures I can find for my family history and genealogy musings for Treasure Chest Thursday.

The treasure today is the 1709/10 marriage record of Rebecka Gifford and Jacob Soule in Dartmouth, Massachusetts:

The marriage record for Rebeckah Gifford and Jacob Soule is on the right-hand page, the third entry in the Gifford section:

The transcription of this marriage record for Rebecka Gifford and Jacob Soule is:

"Rebeckah [Gifford] and Jacob Soule -- Jany 22 1709"

The source citation for this record is:

"Massachusetts, U.S., Town and Vital Records, 1620-1988," indexed database and digital images, Ancestry.com (https://www.ancestry.com), "Dartmouth Births, Marriages and Deaths," no page number (image 303 of 2331), Rebecca Gifford and Jacob Soule marriage entry, 22 January 1709.

This record is a Derivative Source, with Primary Information and Direct Evidence of the marriage of Rebecka Gifford and Jacob Soule.  The Original source is probably a Dartmouth town record book that is not now extant and was copied into this town record book.

Jacob Soule (1687-1748) was born in Dartmouth, Massachusetts, the son of  Nathaniel and Rose (Thorn?) Soule.  He married Rebeckah Gifford (1689-1747), the daughter of Robert and Sarah (Wing) Gifford, on 22 January 1709/10 in Dartmouth.  They had 8 children.

Jacob and Rebeckah (Gifford) Soule are my 7th great-grandparents.  I am descended through their son Benjamin Soule (1719-1803) of Dartmouth, Massachusetts, who married Meribah Waite (1720-1803) in about 1742 in Dartmouth, Massachusetts.
