NOTE: The Duxbury vital records have no Josiah Keen born circa 1690; found none in the ancestry.com files that were a source for this profile. The only Josiah Keen is the one mis-identified profile "Joseph Keen" (Keen-125) who has the same date of birth as Josiah Keen in the Duxbury record. Am correcting name and proposing merge of this profile Keen-129 into the lower numbered profile of the correct Josiah Keen-125.

Keen-129 and Keen-125 appear to represent the same person because: See note in profiles. Keen-125 was mis-identified as Joseph, when Duxbury vital records show his actual name was Josiah. Further, there was no Josiah Keen born to Josiah and Lydia about 1690. Their only son name Josiah was born 27 Sep 1683 -- that is, Keen.125.

Actually, they did have two sons named Josiah - one born in 1683, and the other born about 1691 per MFIP silver books. See this source showing both: https://www.ancestry.com/sharing/22842678?h=aac09b&o_xid=61782 The source for the document linked is: Roser, Susan E.
