KEITH Age: 45 Estimated birth year: <1835> Birthplace: Massachusetts Occupation: Works In Nailing Factory Relation: Self Home in 1880: Weymouth, Norfolk, Massachusetts Marital status: Married Race: White Gender: Male Head of household: Joseph H. KEITH Father's birthplace: MA Mother's birthplace: MA Image Source: Year: 1880; Census Place: Weymouth, Norfolk, Massachusetts; Roll: T9_549; Family History Film: 1254549; Page: 354A; Enumeration District: 533; From here, I totally loose Joseph H. KEITH; he doesn't appear in the 1870 census at all. However, what I do see for pages and pages following is your Keith surname going all the way back to the 1600's...I believe it is via this Joseph H. Keith's line. I'd be happy to send you what is there (all of it, because these folks who are doing this) looks pretty darn good and it goes through the whole of all the older part of MASS where I lived a few years ago...Rhonda Warmack Houston ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Then, I found this: Name: Abby T.

I know families married sisters, one sister after another, but I couldn't find any where in the census, that Francis' wife Jane passed away and Francis marrying Abagail T. Baker Keith???
