Yes I know Kesiah is a "real name" too. However, the marriage record for William Aker says the bride was Eliza Ann, assuming they got it right in that record. And since a Kesiah Reed was in the census, living in same household (as a worker ) with William Aker, I just assumed she was the one he married. Could be wrong! I can see where a census taker might confuse the name Eliza with Keziah. -----Original Message----- From: Florence Cannariato [SMTP:[email protected]] Sent: October 15, 2001 11:32 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [OHROSS] Kesiah Mary M Ferm wrote: > I also have a Kesiah/Keziah.
