!ORD (relative James Keeler): IGI

SARAH WHELPLEY, widow of Henry Whelpley. Sarah, whose maiden name is unknown, was married to Edward Treadwell of Huntington, L. I., when he died in 1660 ("Descendants of Edward Treadwell,". New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, 42:177). She then married Henry Whelpley of Fairfield, Conn., who was dead by 6 June 1662. Sarah then married Ralph and after his death in 1672 she married Thomas Skidmore of Fairfield, who died in 1684. Sarah died 14 days later

Ralph's second wife was SARAH WHELPLEY, widow of Henry Whelpley. Sarah, whose maiden name is unknown, was married to Edward Treadwell of Huntington, L. I., when he died in 1660 ("Descendants of Edward Treadwell,". New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, 42:177). She then married Henry Whelpley of Fairfield, Conn., who was dead by 6 June 1662. Sarah then married Ralph and after his death in 1672 she married Thomas Skidmore of Fairfield, who died in 1684. Sarah died 14 days later. The Keeler-Wood genealogy (Frost, Josephine C., "Ancestors of Evelyn Wood Keeler", privately printed, 1939) overlooks the fact that Whelpley married the widow of John Whitlock "before" he married the widow of Edward Treadwell (Jacobus, Donald Lines, "History and Genealogy of Families of Old Fairfield" I:684) and assumes that it is Whitlock's widow who later married Ralph Keeler. This leads the author to the faulty conclusion that it was not Sarah Whelpley who was married to Ralph Keeler at the time of his death.
