KILLEY, Stephen of Yarmouth, and Lydia Garey, Mar. 1, 1770.
↑ This is listed as the second marriage of Stephen in the Randall book and also NEHGR, p. 151:149 (where Stephen is not covered merely listed the child of a covered person), but there are several indications it may be a different Stephen Killey: no death date given for Thankful, no identification of Lydia Garey, and most importantly, children are both to Stephen and Lydia Killey in Norton VRs (where the marriage occurred), including a son named Stephen, which would tend to rule out the Stephen this is attached to since there is no indication his son died. See the discussion on Family:Stephen O'Killey and Thankful Baker (1). There is no proof, but it fits the facts better than the arrangement presented by Randall, which contains error and asserts unlikely situations without giving any evidence.
