Keziah Cooley was the daughter of Benjamin Cooley Jr [1681-1745] and Margaret Bliss [1683-1744]. She was one of eight children: three girls, five boys.

Keziah married Philip Goss III, son of Capt. Philip Goss Jr and Judith Hayward, on 25 Nov 1723 in Brookfield, MA. They had seven children, five lived to adulthood: Philip IV, Hannah, Ebenezer [died young], Keziah, Judith, Nathaniel [died young] and Thomas.

It's recorded that a "Kesiah Goss" married Timothy Brown on 18 Apr 1744 in Brookfield, MA. He was her husband's 1st cousin [his mother and Philip Goss's mother were sisters]. There is a discrepancy in death dates for Keziah as I've seen the date of Oct 1744 listed. Still trying to find a reliable record on this. (Source Find a Grave)

There were no living children of this marriage.

Philip Goss died in 1742 before his father's death. The inventory of his estate was dated 17 Sep 1742 and the distribution was May 1746. (Source: New England Families, Genealogical and Memorial: A Record of the ..., Volume 2, edited by William Richard Cutter)
After the death of Philip Goss III in 1742, Keziah (Cooley) Goss, his wife, became the Administrator of the estate of her husband. Her son, Philip Goss IV took over in about 1745 after the death of his mother Keziah. Philip the III's estate shows that she was referenced as Keziah Brown formerly Keziah Goss.
