Keziah is not a common name, at least in New England. Though this is probably not your connection, my great grandaunt was Keziah Elizabeth "Libby" SINCLAIR, who was born November 29, 1843 in No. 14 Plantation and grew up in Cherryfield, both in Washington County. No. 14 Plantation is only a stone's throw from Calais. Both the 1850 and 1860 censuses indicate that both her parents were born in Maine, but at the time they were born all of Maine was part of Massachusetts. Dean
