Mary Keziah Thorp (known also as simply Keziah) was born on April 06, 1706 in Woodbridge, Middlesex Co., NJ to Joseph Thorp and Hannah (Anna) Richards. She married Job Conger (b. Jun 09, 1694 in Woodbridge to Capt. John Belconger and Sarah) Mary Keziah's father Joseph Thorp was born abt. 1667 on Long Island, NY and died on Jul 19, 1749 in Piscataway, NJ. His parents were Thomas Thorp (b. 1631 in Ipswich MA, d. Dec 22, 1694 in Woodbridge, NJ) and Rebecca Milward (b. 1640 in Gloucester, MA, d. 1677 in Woodbridge, NJ). Thomas Thorp's parents were John Thorp (b. 1600 in Duxbury, MA to Thomas Milward and Alsop. d. 1633 in Duxbury, MA) and Alice Chandler (d. Dec 24 1667). Rebecca Milward's parents were Thomas Milward (b. abt 1600 possibly in Eaton, England, d. 1653 in Newbury, MA) and Ann Goodale (b. abt. 1600 in Yarmouth, Isle of Wight, England to John Goodale and Elizabeth Beachena, d. Nov 27, 1690 Newbury, MA) Mary Keziah's mother Hannah Richards was possibly the daughter of Paulus Richards, who was, I believe a merchant in New York? I haven't looked into this bit much yet. I too descend from Mary Keziah Thorp and Job Conger,and have a bit more if this helps! =) Carissa ( [email protected] )
