Treasure Chest Thursday - 1750 Death Record of Joseph Bulkley (1682-1750) in Fairfield, Connecticut

 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 1750 death record of Joseph Bulkley in Fairfield, Connecticut in the Hale Collection of Cemetety Inscriptions and Newspaper Notices book:

The cemetery record is the 8th entry from the top of the page:

The transcript of this record is:

"Bulkley, Joseph, died May 6, 1750, age 68."

The source citation for the marriage record is:

Connecticut Cemetery Record, Joseph Bulkley, died 6 May 1750, age 68; imaged, "Connecticut, U.S., Hale Collection of Cemetery Inscriptions and Newspaper Notices, 1629-1934," Ancestry.com (https://www.ancestry.com/discoveryui-content/view/553871:2900), Connecticut Headatone Inscriptions Vol. 16 > page 407-6 (image 20 of 657), Old [Fairfield] Cemetery; original data from The Charles R. Hale Collection. Hale Collection of Connecticut Cemetery Inscriptions, Hartford, Connecticut: Connecticut State Library.

This is a Derivative Source record (because it is compiled from gravestones in a cemetery) with Primary Information and Direct Evidence of the death and age of Joseph Bulkley on 6 May 1750 in Old Cemetery, Fairfield, Connecticut Colony, British Colonial America.

Joseph Bulkley (1682-1750) was born 9 May 1682 in Fairfield, Fairfield County, Connecticut Colony, the son of Joseph and Martha (Beers) Bulkley.  He died 6 May 1750 in Fairfield, Fairfield County, Connecticut Colony.  Joseph married Esther Bulkley (1684-1726) in about 1703 in Fairfield.  She was the daughter of John and Esther (Burr) Bulkley.  Joseph and Esther (Bulkley) Bulkley had at least 5 children.

Joseph and Esther (Bulkley) Bulkley are my 8th great-grandparents, through their daughter, Esther Bulkley (1713-1770) who married John Hill (1707-1759) in 1729.
