Cynthia, You might want to check out this page and get in touch with the people who maintain it. They can probably find the info you need. I have the book, but it is packed away at the moment and I am not sure which box it is in. http://pages.prodigy.net/lakeith/index.htm Dianna At 06:45 PM 6/29/2002 -0400, you wrote: > I am a descendant of the Rev.James Keith of Bridgewater............ > >I need information married RUTH MANLEY, who married Josiah Keith >in 1768.

H. C. Peter Rounds_Abstracts of Bristol County, Massachusetts Probate Records 1687-1745_ (Baltimore, Genealogical publishing Co., Inc, 1987) 10:329 Abstract of the will of Thomas Manley of Easton--names wife "Lidia" and dau. "Ruth Keith." will dated April 6, 1743 and prob. July 19, 1743. I realize this doesn't work with your dates, and I'm not really familiar with this family. But I think the dates you have may not be right. I think there were three Josiah's in one line--your's being the second. I believe the first married Mary Lathrop, their son married Ruth Manley, and their son married Susannah Williams. The first and third are in the Bridgewater VR (214) where Josiah 3 is said to be of Easton. He was married in 1758, Josiah 1 in 1703/3. I don't have VR for Easton.
