Fifth Generation.

Chil. of John and Sarah (Northrop) Keeler. 39

264 I. Sarah Keeler, b. in Ridgefield, Conn., 12 July 1751; was named in her father's will, 25 Dec. 1781, as "my daughter, Sarah Starr", giving her one third of his real estate, and half the household goods. She was married, 11 Aug. 1773, at Ridgebury, in Ridgefield, by Rev. Samuel Camp, pastor of the Congregational Church in Ridgebury, to Noah Starr, of Ridgebury, born in Ridgefield, 24 March 1753, son of Samuel and Anne Starr. He died in Ridgefield, 6 Jan. 1782. 1064
265 II. John Keeler, b. in Ridgefield, Conn., 10 Jan. 1753; married, 6 Dec 1775, in Norwalk, Conn., Patty Olmsted, who was born in Norwalk, 2 Aug. 1756. They settled on Ridgebury Hill, in Ridgefield, where his grandson, Ira Keeler, was living in 1873. He died in Ridgebury, of a long decline, 17 Dec 1798, and was buried in Ridgebury Cemetery. She married (2d), John Crosman, who died in Ridgebury, 26 Ap. 1812, in his 75th year. She died in Ridgebury, 1 May 1812, and was buried in Ridgebury Cemetery. Their graves are not marked. 1069



Chil. of Elijah and Sarah Keeler. 40

266 I. Sarah Keeler, b. in Ridgefield, Conn., 16 Oct. 1749; married about 1767, John Nash, born at Ridgefield 13 Ap. 1747, son of Abraham and Rhoda (Keeler) Nash. They settled in Ballston, or Milton, N. Y. She died before 1775. He died, it is said, at an advanced age, in Broome Co., N. Y. 1078
267 II. Rebecca Keeler, b. at Ridgefield, Conn., 29 Ap. 1751, according to the town-record, while the family-record says, 23 Ap. 1751; married, as his second wife, Lemuel Bangs,1 a blacksmith, teacher and surveyor, son of
  1 Lemuel Bangs wrote, in 1813: "According to my father's account, my great-grandfather came from the Isle of Man. My grandfather's name was Samuel. My father's name was Joseph, of the town of Harwich in the County of Barnstable on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. He died in Phillips' Patent, in the State of New York, in 1757." This, with the fact that Lemuel Bangs, at his death, 9 May 1824, was "aged more than 84," and so must have been born some time before May 1740, seems to identify him as having the following ancestry, which we take from a pedigree of Bangs, in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register, VIII. 369:

"Mr. EDWARD BANGS," "came from Chichester, in England, A. D. 1623, in the Anne, which landed = "Rebekah"

 at Plymouth the last of July. He died at Eastham, A. D. 1678, aged 86." Savage's Genea-          |
 logical Dictionary shows that he died in 1677, and that his will, dated 19 Oct. 1677, was proved |
 5 March 1678; also, that he "m. after 1627, as is presum., Lydia, d. of Robert Hicks."           |
