Henry Doude Documentation

Henry Doude’s name is found on numerous pages in the recorded history of Guilford. I have included here the record of his death. The record is found in one of the earliest town records that include some very early wills and the earliest vital records. Judging by the style of writing I think it may be a transcription of an early record that no longer exists. On the other hand the court records and wills suggest that it may be in fact the original record. His death or “burial” is recorded as 31 August 1668. On the same page is the death notice for his son Jeremiah. Note his name is spelled with an “e” on the end Doude. I have also added a court document that includes his name.
