It's Treasure Chest Thursday - a time to look in my digital image files to see what treasures I can find for my family history and genealogy musings.
The treasure today is the 1701 marriage record for Joseph Severs and Mary Reed in the Sudbury, Massachusetts town record book:
The marriage record for Joseph Severs and Mary Reed is the first entry on page 200 (penned) on the image:
The transcription of the marriage entry is:
"Joseph Severs and Mary Reed were married October 13'th 1701"
The source citation for this record is:
Sudbury, Massachusetts Town Records, imaged, "Massachusetts, U.S., Town and Vital Records, 1620-1988,"Ancestry.com (https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/62997/images/i3817385-00270), Sudbury > Volume 1, 1676-1779, Births, Marriages and Deaths > page 270 (penned, image 271 of 364), Joseph Severs and Mary Reed entry, married 13 October 1701.
This is a Derivative Source record which is a copy of an earlier Sudbury record book (since the records are listed alphabeticall by surname first letter and then by year), for the marriage of Joseph Severs and Mary Reed in Sudbury, Massachusetts Bay Colony. It is Primary Information and Direct Evidence of the names of Joseph and Mary and their marriage date and place.
Joseph Seaver (1672-1754) and Mary Read (1679-????) are my 7th great-grandparents, who married in 1701 in Sudbury and had six children. I am descended through their son Robert Seaver (1702-1752) who married Eunice Rayment (1707-1772) in 1726.
