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 1780 burial record of Mary Wills in the Merriott, Somerset Church of England parish records.
The burial entry for Mary Wills is the 13th record for 1780 Burials on the page:
The transcription of this record is:
"[1780] "[May] 19 Mary Wills"

Mary Scriven was born before 27 May 1705 in Crewkerne, Somerset, England to Thomas Scriven and Hannah Perry. Thomas Wills and Mary Scriven were married on 24 June (?) 1725 in Merriott, Somerset, England. Mary (Scriven) Wills was buried on 19 May 1780 in Merriott, Somerset.
Thomas Wills and Mary Screven are my 7th great-grandparents, through their daughter Elizabeth Wills (1730-1796) who married John Lavor (1722-1799) in 1750 in Lopen, Somerset, England.
