Treasure Chest Thursday -- 1682 Baptism of Joanna Axe in South Petherton, Somerset

 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 1682 baptism record of Joanna Axe in the South Petherton, Somerset Church of England parish records.

The baptsim entry for Joanna Axe  is the first record for November 1682 on the left-hand page:

The transcription of this record is:

"[1682] November 4 Baptizata fuit Joanna filia Samuelis Axe."

Joanna Axe (1682-1748) was baptized on 4 November 1682 in the South Petherton (Somerset) Church of England parish, the daughter of Samuel Axe and Ruth Pike.  She married John Lavor  (1689-1755) on 15 June 1709 in the South Petherton, Somerset parish.  She died before 1 April 1748 in South Petherton where he was buried.

John and Joanna (Axe) Lavor are my 7th great-grandparents, through their son John Lavor (1722-1799) who married Elizabeth Wills (1730-1796) in 1750 in Lopen, Somerset, England.
