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 1784 death record for Jonas Prescott in the Westford, Massachusetts vital records book:
The Jonas Prescott (1703-1784) death record is:
The extracted information for this death record for Sarah Samborn:
"[PRESCOTT] Jonas, Sept. 9, 1784, in his 83d y. G.R.2"
The source citation for the Sarah Worcester birth record is:
Vital Records of Westford, Massachusetts to the Year 1849 (Salem, Mass. : The Essex Institute, 1915), Deaths, page 304, Jonas Prescott entry, 9 September 1784, "in his 83d year."
Jonas Prescott (1703-1784) was born 26 January 1702/3 in Groton, Massachusetts Bay Colony, the son of Jonas and Thankfull (Wheeler) Prescott. He died 9 September 1784 in Westford, Massachusetts. He married (1) Esther Spaulding (1705-1730) in 1726, and they had two children. He married (2) Elizabeth Harwood (1701-1739) in 1731 and they had four children. He married (3) Rebecca Jones (1710-1802) and they had three children.
Jonas Prescott and Elizabewth Harwood are my 6th great-grandparents, through their daughter Elizabeth Prescott (1734-1812) who married Zachariah Hildreth (1728-1784) in 1753.
