From: Index of Births Marriages Deaths 1665-1838, Possession of Clinton Town Clerk "Birth-Kelcey-Simeon-1731-Feb.-26, Vol K-2, pg 156, Father- Mattius, Mother- Abigail Kirkum" K-2 refers to the Killingworth Land Records, Vol 2, a copy of which are at the Clinton Clerks office, as Clinton was at one time part of Killingworth. The Kelsey Genealogy is at the Clinton Historical Society and may have more information on the Simeon/Nelly union. I did make a photocopy of the record in the K-2 Vol. if anyone is interested.
