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 1734/5 death record of Joseph Allen in Dartmouth, Massachusetts:
The death record for Joseph Allen is on the left page, at the bottom of the top cluster of Allen birth and death entries:
The transcription of this death record for Joseph Allen is:
"Joseph Allen deceased the last day of the month called January 1734/5."
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," Page 280 (image 520 of 2331), Joseph Allen death entry, 31 January 1734/5.
This record is probably a Derivative Source, with Primary Information and Direct Evidence of the death of Joseph Allen. The Original source is probably a Dartmouth town record book that is not now extant and was copied into this town record book.
Joseph Allen (1667-1735) was born in Dartmouth, Massachusetts, the son of John and Sarah (Holloway) Allen. He married Rachel --?-- (1668-after 1721) in Portsmouth. They had 5 children.
Joseph and Rachel (--?--) Allin are my 7th great-grandparents. I am descended through their daughter Rachel Allin (1708-1801) of Dartmouth, Massachusetts, who married Ichabod Kirby (1705-1793) in 1733 in Dartmouth.
