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 1690 death record of John Metcalf in Medfield, Massachusetts Bay Colony:
The death entry for John Medcalfe is the ninth entry from the bottom in right-hand column:
The transcription of the information on this record is:
"John Mercalf Sen'r died October 8't 1690"
The source citation for this marriage record is:
This is certainly a Derivative Source record (because it appears to be a handwritten copy of an original town record done after 1800, or perhaps even after 1900) with Primary Information and Direct Evidence of the name, death date and place of death of John Metcalf in Medfield town.
John Metcalf (1622-1690) was baptized 5 September 1622 in Norwich, Norfolk, England, the sonf of Michael Metcalf and Sarah Elwyn; he died 8 October 1690 in Medfield, Massachusetts Bay Colony. He married Mary Chickering (1628-1698) on 23 March 1647 in Dedham, Massachusetts Bay Colony. Mary was born about 1628 in Ringsfield, Suffolk, England, the daughter of Francis Chickering and Anne Fiske; she died 15 March 1698 in Medfield, Massachusetts Bay Colony.
John and Mary (Chickering) Metcalf are my 9th great-grandparents, through their son Michael Metcalf (1650-1691) who married Elizabwth Bowers (1654-1724) in 1676 in Medfield, Massachusetts Bay Colony.
