Treasure Chest Thursday: 1757 Death Record of Sarah Richards in Lynn, Massachusetts Bay Colony

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 1757 death record of Sarah (Collins) Richards in the Lynn, Massachusetts Bay Colony vital records book:

The snippet for the Sarah Richards death:


The extracted information for this death record is:

"[RICHARDS] Sarah, 'old', June 23, 1757. P.R. 5"

The source citation for this record is:

Vital Records of Lynn, Massachusetts to the end of the Year 1849 (Salem, Mass. : The Essex Institute, 1906), 2 Volumes, Deaths, page 580, Sarah Richards death entry, 23 June 1757.

This is a Derivative Source record, with Primary Information and Direct Evidence of the death date and place of Sarah Richards.  This book was compiled from original handwritten and/or copied Lynn town records by the book's authors.

Sarah Collins (1678-1757) was born 10 August 1678 in Lynn, Massachusetts Bay Colony, the daughter of Joseph and Sarah (Silsbee) Collins. She married Crispus Richards (1681-1763) on 21 December 1702 in Lynn.  Sarah died 23 June 1757 in Lynn.

Crispus and Sarah (Collins) Richards are my 7th great-grandparents through Joseph Richards (1703-1748) who married Mary Bowden in 1726.
