Treasure Chest Thursday - 1737 Birth of Mary Rice (1737-1767) in Worcester, Massachusetts Bay

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

The treasure today is the 1737 birth entry for Mary Rice in the Worcester, Worcester County, Massachusetts town records:

The birth record is near the bottom of the Rice items on the left-hand list of the image:

The transcription of this record is::

"Mary Rice Daughter of Jonas Rice & Jean his wife Born ye July 18 1737"

The source citation for this record is (using Evidence Explained 4th edition template):
