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 1679 birth record for Mary Read in the Sudbury, Massachusetts vital record book:
The birth record for Mary Read is near them iddle of the Read listings on page 117:
The transcription of the birth entry is:
"[READ] Mary, ch. Tho[mas] and Mary, Jan. 5, 1679"
The source citation for this record is:
Vital Records of Sudbury, Massachusetts to the year 1850 (Boston, Mass. : New England Historic Genealogical Society, 1903), Births, page 117, Mary Read entry, 5 January 1679, child of Thomas and Mary Read.
This is a Derivative Source record which was extracted from an earlier Sudbury record book (no longer extant or available), for the birth of Mary Read in Sudbury, Massachusetts Bay Colony. It is Primary Information and Direct Evidence of the names of Mary and her parents married names, the birth date and birth place. An earlier handwritten Sudbury town record for this event was not found on Ancestry.com or on FamilySearch. org. The birth date is most likely 5 January 1679/80, since she has siblings born in March 1677/8 and July 1683.
Mary Read (1679-????) was the second child of Thomas and Mary (Goodrich) Read of Sudbury, Massachusetts Bay Colony. She married Joseph Seaver (1672-1754) in 1701 in Sudbury and had six children. They are my 7th great-grandparents. I am descended through their son Robert Seaver (1702-1752) who married Eunice Rayment (1707-1772) in 1726.
