Joseph Kinne, husband of Keziah (Peabody) Kinne, married for his 2nd wife, Lydia Adams, widow of William Richards who died 16 May 1724.^[1]

Unless Joseph Kinne remained unmarried for seven years after Keziah's death - not likely with six children age ten and under in 1717... or he married a wife who died before he married Lydia Adams, her birth, death and name going unrecorded.... then it is most likely that his first wife, Keziah Peabody, was the mother of all twelve of his children, which means Keziah was still alive in 1730.
