52 ANCESTORS IN 52 WEEKS 2019 WEEK 13: EDWARD FOBES OF BRIDGEWATER, MA.

I don't know much-yet- about 8x great grandfather Deacon Edward Fobes, so this will be a short  52 Ancestors in 52 Weeks entry. Here's a brief biography from Nahum Mitchell's History of Bridgewater, Ma.:

* 2. Dea. Edward (s. of John I) m. Elizabeth D. of John Howard, and had Elizabeth 1677, John 1679, Mary 1681, Bethiah 1683, Hannah 1686, Ephraim 1688, Joshua 1689, Benjamin 1692, and William 1698.—Edward the father, d. a. 1732.—Elizabeth m. Joseph Keith.—Mary never m.—Bethiah m. Samuel Keith 1703.—Hannah m. Timo. Keith, 17 10. p163

Mitchell's History of Bridgewater, Massachusetts,  Published By Edward Alden Bridgewater, Ma.1897 


What does stand out from the entry is that three of the Fobes daughters married three sons of Rev. James Keith. I am descended from Elizabeth Fobes who married Joseph Keith.
