From: "A Genealogy of the Descendants of William Kelsey, Who setteled at Cambridge, Mass., in 1632: at Hartford, Conn., in 1636; and at Killingworth, Conn., in 1663." Edward A. Claypool and Azalea Clizbee, Vol. 2, edited by Chester Caulfield Kelsey, 1929 Note from Tom S.; "Must have known Simon, Isabel, Wm. Bloomfield and the whole gang!" Pg. 121-122 #772, Simeon Kelsey (Matthias, William, Daniel, William), 2nd son and second child of Deacon Matthias Kelsey and Abigail Kirkum, was born Feb. 26, 1730 at Killingworth[Conn], resided at Kent or Salisbury; no record of his death. He married Aug. 22, 1754, at Kent, Nelly Sackett of Dover, N.Y. Children: 2(?) (Kelsey), both sons and perhaps others. 1452 Heth, born about 1756 1453 Elijah, born about 1759 note: By some these two sons have been credited to a Heth Kelsey said to have been a son of Deacon Matthias, but as Matthias had a son Heth, born in 1740 and died the same year, another son of the same name could scarcely have been a grandfather inside of 40 years or less; therefore it seems likely that they were the children of Simeon, brother to the 1st Heth, who was married to Nelly Sackett.
