Families of the Children of Hannah4 Washburn and Ensign John2 Keith

 

 

         The families of the children of Hannah Washburn and John Keith of Bridgewater, presented here, should be fairly complete, with a few exceptions. The families of the two daughters of Susanna Keith and Rev. Ebenezer Hines are incomplete, and some of the children of Zephaniah Keith and Mary Hooper, and of Capt. Joseph Keith and Chloe Packard are not fully traced. The family of the one daughter of Mary Keith and Solomon Pratt will be listed under her husband’s family in a later chapter, since he was also a Washburn descendant. Other than that, and a granddaughter of Daniel Keith who married Daniel7 Washburn, the descendants of Hannah (Washburn) Keith will not be carried forward further than this file.

His grandfather, John Keith, Gentleman, was appointed as his guardian on 4 Apr. 1748,[10] and he named as executor of his grandfather’s will in 1761.[11] He was probably the David Keith who married 1.)

His inventory was appraised on 13 Nov. 1775 by Zadock Leonard, Abner Kingman, and Theophilus Crooker, and totaled only Ł40.12.1, which included a small house valued at only Ł6, but no land. Joseph Keith “the third” made oath to the inventory on 4 Dec. 1775, and petitioned the court that the estate is “Greatly Insolvent.” Debts owed amounted to Ł69.7.11, and collections received added another Ł50.8.6 to the value of his estate. His widow received a small portion, including half of the house and few personal items, the accounting included “Cash paid for Nursing the Widow,” and after probate costs were deducted there was only Ł54.5.1 to satisfy the claims of the creditors.[599] There is no mention of children in the probate proceedings, but two sons are identified in a Revolutionary War Pension Application filed by a grandson in 1849.
