I looked 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 1684 birth record of Samuel Slocum (1684/5-1741) in Jamestown, Rhode Island:
The birth record is the fifth record in the Slocum section:
The transcription of this birth record is:
"[SLOCUM] Samuel, March -- 1684."
The source citation for this record is:
James N. Arnold, Vital Record of Rhode Island, 1636-1850, First Series, Births, Marriages and Deaths : a Family Register for the People (Providence, R.I.: Narragansett Historical Publishing Co., 1891-1912), Vol. 4, "Newport County, Births, Marriages, Deaths;" Jamestown Births and Deaths, Samuel Slocum birth entry, March 1684; accessed on Ancestry.com (https://www.ancestry.com).
This record is a Derivative Source, with Primary Information and Direct Evidence of the birth of Samuel slocum in Jamestown, Rhode Island in 1684. The original record is probably in a Jamestown town record book that is no longer extant.
Samuel Slocum (1684-1741) was born in March 1684 in Jamestown, Rhode Island, the son of Ebenezer and Mary (Thurston) Slocum. He married Hannah Carr (1691-1785), the daughter of Edward and Hannah (Stanton) Carr, in January 1708 in Jamestown. They had six children.
Samuel and Hannah (Carr) Slocum are my 7th great-grandparents. I am descended through their daughter Hannah Slocum (1710-1737) who married Thomas Hazard (1707-1748) on 22 February 1727 in South Kingstown, Rhode Island.
