I have been trying to find parents of Keziah for a long time. Unable to find any connection.

I think Baldwin need to be un-linked as wife of Samuel.

FWIW most trees on Ancestry say John Baldwin and Ruth Botsfird. I can’t find it documented. But I think she’s in this family.

I am not sure the parents of Keziah (Kesiah) (Kegeah) are John Baldwin and Ruth Botsford. Keziah is not listed in the will or a North America family history document of their children. Does anyone know what linkage there is here?
