Martin Key and Elizabeth Ford
Mary Winham 3/16/03
Martin (Sr.) Key and Elizabeth Ford (married about 1690) had two children , John (Sr.)born 1696, and Martin (Jr.) Key, born 1700. These children would have been 9yrs and 5 yrs respectively at the time of the parents deaths, so the question of who cared for them is noteworthy.
I do not have records showing the date of death of their grandparents (John(Jr.)Key and Mary Palmer) but their ages would have been approx.52 yrs at time of Martin and Elizabeth's deaths. My records indicate that Martin (sr)was the only child of John (Jr)Key and mary palmer, so it seems likely that the grandparents might have cared for the young children.
My records also show Martin (Sr.)Key as my Great(7)Grandfather.
