Treasure Chest Thursday - 1772 Marriage Record of Latham Lanphere and Anna Wilbur in Hopkinton, Rhode Island and Providence Platations

  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 1772 marriage record of Latham Lanphere and Anna Wilbur in Hopkinton, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations in the Rhode Island Vital Records Extracts:

The marriage record is the 4th record in the Lanphere section on this page:

The transcript of this record is:

"1-07 [LANPHERE] Latham, of Joshua, of Hopkinton, and Anna Wilbur, of Samuel

of Richmond; m. by Elder John Davis, Jan. ---, 1772."

The source citation for this marriage record is:

Washington County, Rhode Island marriage record, Latham Lanphere and Anna Wilbur, January 1772; imaged, "Rhode Island, U.S., Vital Record Abstracts, 1636-1899," Ancestry.com ( : accessed 21 August 2024), Vol· 05: Washington County: Births, Marriages, Deaths, Hopkinton, page 18, image 486 of 523; original data from Arnold, James Newell. Rhode Island Vital Extracts, 1636–1850. 21 volumes (Providence, R.I.: Narragansett Historical Publishing Company, 1891–1912), digitized images from New England Historic Genealogical Society, Boston, Massachusetts.

This is a Derivative Source record (because it is compiled from town vital records into an index) with Primary Information and Direct Evidence of the marriage of Latham Lanphere nd Anna Wilbur in June 1772 in Hopkinton, Kings County, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations.

Latham Lanphere was born in about 1752 in Hopkinton, Kings County, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, the son of Joshua and Zerviah (Ellis) Lanphere.  He died after 1802, probably in Hillsdale, Columbia County, New York.  Latham married Anna Wilbur in January 1772 in Hopkinton.  Anna was born in about 1744 in  Westerly, Kings County, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, the daughter of Samuel Wilbur.  Anna died in about 1813, probably in Hillsdale, Columbia County, New York.  They had at least 4 children.

Latham and Anna (Wilbur) Lanphere are my 5th great-grandparents, through their son Isaac Lanfear (1777-1851), who married Rosina Lown (1781-1881) in  1809.
