INDEX

A few sources list three more children: Dorothy and Mary born before Hannah, and Ebenezer born after Charles.
Edward A. Claypool and Azalea Clizbee. "A Genealogy of the Descendants of William Kelsey: A genealogy of the William Kelsey family who settled at Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1632; at Hartford, Connecticut, in 1636; and at Killingworth, Connecticut, in 1663." Vol. I (New Haven: Tuttle, Morehouse & Taylor, 1928).
"WILLIAM KELSEY, born in England about 1600, died about 1680 at
Killingworth and was probably buried there. He married, probably about
1625-1628 in England, BETHIA HOPKINS(?), born about 1605-1610, in England; died
(???). (Bethia possibly died about 1636 and William may have married a second
wife shortly after this, who would thus have been
the mother of the four younger children, and possibly of John6.) There is no
mention of William Kelsey's wife in any known records.
Children: 9 (KELSEY), five sons and four daughters.
*2 i MARK, born about 1628; died before Feb. 27, 1722/3.
3 ii BETHIA, born about 1630; died (???); married before Sept. 1665, DAVID
PHILLIPS. That this Bethia Kelsey, wife of David Phillips, was a daughter of
William1 seems beyond contradiction. Hinman says that it was Bethia Kelsey,
widow of William1 who became the wife of David Phillips of Milford, but the
Hartford Town Records disprove this by the record of Sept. 1665, when it was
voted that "the town will give tenn pounds to David Phillips, of Milford
provided he remove from Hartford with Bethia Kelsy (wrongly copied as Kelly) his
wife, at such a time as the townsmen appoynt him." As William1 was living
for at least ten years after this meeting, it could not have been his widow who
was here named, so it must have been a
daughter. Nothing further is known of Bethia and her husband, David Phillips.
*4 iii PRISCILLA, born about 1632; died (???).
*5 iv MARY, born about 1633; died Apr. 18, 1676.
*6 v JOHN, born about 1636; died July 22, 1709.
*7 vi ABIGAIL, born April 19, 1645; died May 12, 1717.
*8 vii STEPHEN, born Nov. 7, 1647; died Nov. 30, 1710.
*9 viii DANIEL, born July 6, 1650; died June 5, 1727.
10 ix WILLIAM, born Mar. 23, 1654; died (???). It is supposed that he died
young, without issue, before the family removed
to Killingworth."
