Stephen Platt, b. 1770, m. Keziah Wickes
One of our Platt Family Association members has asked about a Stephen Platt, b. 24 April 1770, d. 12 October 1846.He married Keziah Wickes, b. 5 July 1776, d. 12 October 1856.
It has been claimed that this is the Stephen Platt, (#122-125 in the 1963 Platt Genealogy by Charles Platt, Jr.)This Stephen had a twin brother, John, and, according to the Genealogy, both were born abt 1772 in Amenia, New York, sons of Stephen Platt, b. 1730/1 in Huntington, Long Island, New York, and his 2nd wife, Jane Rogers.
The problem with this is that there is a bible record for the Stephen, b. 24 April 1770, etc. and the Stephen in the Genealogy had a sister, Martha, b. 1770, so he very likely was born in 1772.
So, who was the Stephen Platt, b. 24 April 1770 who married Keziah Wickes?This fellow has to connect somewhere with the Long Island branch of the Richard Platt of Milford family, but how?
