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 1732 death record of Christopher Champlain in Westerly, Rhode Island:
The death record is in the middle of the page:
The transcription of this death record is:
"2-124 [CHAMPLAIN] Christopher, died April 2, 1732.
The source citation for this record is:

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. 5, "Washington County, Births, Marriages, Deaths;" Westerly Births and Deaths, page 87, Christopher Champlain death entry, 2 April 1732; accessed in "Rhode Island, U.S., Vital Extracts, 1636-1899" collection on Ancestry.com (https://www.ancestry.com).

Christopher and --?-- (--?--) Champlain are my 8th great-grandparents. I am descended through their son, William Champlin (1687-1778) who married Joanna --?-- (c1692-c1762) before 1720 in Rhode Island.
