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 1753 death record of Jonas Rice in the Worcester, Massachusetts Bay Colony town records:
The 1753 death entry for Jonas Rice is the last entry on the left-hand page:
The transcription of the information on this record is:
"Jonas Rice Esq Died deceased September the 22 1753
Aged eight four. He was the first settler of Worcester
Born 1669 in Sudbury."
The source citation for this census record is:
This is an Original Source record (because it is a town record book with information recorded as it occurred) with Primary Information and Direct Evidence of the name and death date of Jonas Rice in the Worcester town record book.
Jonas Rice was born 6 March 1673 in Marlborough, Middlesex County, Massachusetts Bay Colony, the son of Thomas Rice and Mary King. He died 22 September 1753 in Worcester, Worcester County, Massachusetts Bay Colony. Jonas married Mary Stone (1677-1764) on 10 February 1702 in Sudbury. They had 5 children.
Jonas Rice and Mary Stone are my 6th great-grandparents, through their son Jonas Rice (1707-1793) who married Jane Hall (1700-1769) in Worcester, Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1728.
