Research notes

A previous version of this profile gave a date of death of 31 Mar 1768. Review of the will associated with that date of death shows that is actually the date of death for John Keyes, son of Solomon Keyes.

Married to Abigail Livermore 26 Nov 1741 in Westborough, Worcester, Massachusetts. No source for birth date. Just an estimate. His parents *may* be John Keyes and Sarah Prescott, but I haven't actually found any evidence tying him to them.
