Married at Chelmsford, Samuel Fletcher, son of William, July 5 [year missing due to tear]
Please note: The very old burials were not necessarily recorded. A lot of the records that we have today are from tombstone transcriptions that were done in the 1800's. By then (200 yrs. later), there are usually no tombstone or wooden cross left. Very rarely do you find one. Usually in the 1600's there was one central burying ground (usually on the green or commons area) and this was the oldest cemetery in the village. So, just because there is no written record, it does not mean that the person is not there. If they lived and died there, they were buried in the community cemetery.
