"Richards, Obadiah, Jr., d. Nov. 11, 1702 [1:78]"

One suspects that calling him "Jr." in the death record is an error since (1) there is no sign of an older Obadiah Richards in central Connecticut at that time, and (2) he had a son Obadiah living at that time who had reached his majority making it likely that the death record should have read, "Sr." Online, only a copy is available, and p. 161 has the transcription of page 1:78 of the original, and the copy says "senor".
