Other Events:

• Reference Number: 6948

Notes:

BIRTH: We know that his father was born 2 Jan 1725. We know that his father married Jane Bennett 14 Sep 1744. Assuming he was a first child he would have been born by 1745 or later. According to the Burdick book his child Ephraim was born 1763. We have no citation on the birth of Rachel. Either he married very young or else our understanding of this is flawed.

Birth:
Assuming he was first child after parents married

Died:
not in 1790 census

Nathan married Mary Keeler before 1760. Mary (daughter of Robert Keeler) was born about 1745. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events:

• Reference Number: 6945

Notes:

PARENTS: Many online trees show Robert Keeler and Jane Wood. The Burdick book identifies her father as the Robert Keeler who returned to England. On familysearch.org there is a baptism record for Robert Keeler in Sandwich, Kent, England dated 2 Mar 1706. There is also a marriage record in the nearby village of Nonington, Kent, England showing robert Keeler married the widow Jane Wood on 31 May 1733. Hiowever, we have no evidence that these records refer to the same people.

Birth:
based on spouse's birth date

Married:

Daniel married Mary Gardner on 24 Nov 1752 in South Kingstown, Washington, Rhode Island, USA. Mary was born about 1732. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events:

• Reference Number: 7252

Notes:

The Gardiner genelogy book shows Mary Gardiner b. 25 Jul 1728 dau of Henry Gardiner and Catherine Davis marrying Jonathan Hazard on 16 Apr 1747. Some online trees show that Mary married Daniel Shaw in 1752 after Jonathan Hazard died. However, Gardner and Hazard show children born after 1752. I cannot find any source for her 2nd marriage. The marriage to Hazard shows up in the Vital Records of Rhode Island, the marriage to Shaw does not show up there. This appears to all be a mistake. The Settlers of the Beekman Patent Book shows Mary Gardner as his wife. However, it does not confirm her parentage or her previous husband.

Birth:

He was a shoemaker by trade, but as he was almost blind, no family except himself, he could not do much of his trade. He did not own real estate. He stated he was 69 years old. On 12 Sep 1820 he says age 72 and wife age 66.
Wife's name is unknown,
Mail notification in 1820 was being sent toSeth E Baldwin in Caldwell. Seth E Baldwin also signed the affidavit as a Notary Public. I did find a Seth Baldwin on the 1820 Caldwell census, age 26-45 (living 2 houses from Daniel Shaw).
1820 & 1830 census in Bolton are probably his son, Benajah Jr. The ages given do not align with Benajah's advanced age.
None of his known children or Seth Baldwin have a person of his age in their household.
There is a marriage record dated 10/1/1769 in Lebanon, Connecticut for Benajah Bennett and Zerviah Crane. However, we have no record that Benajah was ever in Connecticut. The Benajah Bennett who joined the Connecticut militia in Lebanon married Sarah Gilbert and later Mary.

Benajah married Unknown on 1 Oct 1769 in Lebanon, New London, Connecticut, USA. was born about 1754. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events:

• Reference Number: 7494

Notes:

We have no confirmation that the Benajah Bennett in Lebanon who married Zerviah Crane in 1769 was the same person as the Benajah who eventully lived in Caldwell, New York. Nor that, if he was Zerviah would be the same wife who was 66 in 1819.

Birth:
Benajahs Unknown wife is 66 on pension app

alive in 1820

Unconfirmed is the right person
