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 1667 death record of Quinton Pray in Braintree, Massachusetts Bay:
The death record is about 60% down the page:
The transcription of this death record is:
"Quinton Pray, dyed the 4th m'o. 17, 1667."
The source citation for this record is:
Samuel A. Bates (editor), Records of the Town of Braintree [Massachusetts], 1640 to 1793 (Randolph, Mass.: Daniel H. Huxford, Printer, 1886), page 639, Quinton Pray death entry, 17 June 1667.
This record is a Derivative Source, with Primary Information and Direct Evidence of the death of Quinton Pray. The original record is probably in a Braintree town record book that is not extant.
Quinton Pray (1595-1667) married Joan Valliance (1599-1672) on 17 June 1621 in Mayfield, Sussex, England. They had 10 children.
Quinton and Joan (Valliance) Pray are my 9th great-grandparents. I am descended through their son Richard Pray (1629-1693) who married in about 1646 to Mary --?-- (a1629-1686).
